Clutches for a Cause

Want to stay stylish while supporting a great cause? Consider Mad Imports, a socially and environmentally conscious company that sells handmade handbags from Madagascar and Kenya.

The company, launched by Laurel Brandstetter in 2003, incorporates renewable, raw materials into its line of original clutches, totes and shoulder bags. Profits from the sale of Mad Imports’ products enable families in Madagascar and Kenya to gain economic independence, all while promoting environmental conservation.

And, did we mention that these handbags are really chic?

If you're looking for a summer clutch, try the Gigi, Isadora, or Carmen clutches. The bright colors and unique designs will add a pop of color to even a basic outfit.

If you need a bigger bag, try the Sayulita or Bora Bora handbags.

For a trip to the beach or a quick overnight getaway, consider the Lug tote, featuring a drawstring closure.

Happy Memorial Day!
