What the heck???



$160
Handmade bags of zipper pulls. Women working in the hills of Rio de Janeiro assemble these messenger-style bags by hand, and use the money they make to support their families.
6"x7-1/2


 


They have a pop can top version of this as well.  Have fun getting through security at the airport!

You really like these?  They seem impractical and maybe even painful.  I picture cuts on my hands from the metal zippers.


I am not a fan.  And that tag line really bothers me.  Like they're trying to guilt people into buying them. 


Buy a bag, help a needy family!

hahaha, Anna, they're zippers, not razor blades... how are you going to cut your hands on zippers?

pricey, yes. but a cool idea. a great summer bag. i'll wait till then, maybe the price will go down.
