Eco-Conscious "Catch of the Day" Messenger Bags
|
|
|
Wow! These big, stylish bags caught our eye like an errant fish hook! We find them irresistible for their bold, colorful graphics - and inventive repurposing of old rice bags. Plus their manufacturing process is more than humane - it's enlightened: Our Pale Orange Salmon Catch of the Day Messenger Bag are imported from Australia, where the manufacturers work with a not-for-profit business aiding landmine victims and the urban poor of Cambodia. The organization strives to teach and preserve traditional Khmer arts and handicrafts – at the same time enabling the people of the poverty-stricken region to better care for themselves and their families. |
Catch of the Day Messenger Bags
Made from recycled rice bags in Cambodia by a socially conscious Australian manufacturer
Size: 14" x 14" x 4" - Fits most laptops (up to 15")
Laminated exterior, lined interior, adjustable shoulder strap
Two deep pockets; magnetic snap closure

Book of Good Fortune
Chinese Calligraphy Set
Size: 8" x 5" x 2"
Silk-covered, handmade box-enclosed set includes:
36-page, accordion-fold book, 2 brushes, ink (see above), Fu stone seal, seal paste
$30.00
|
Enclosed in a folding “book” (nicely finished with a bone closure and covered in the traditional color of the Chinese monarchy, royal blue), the Book of Good Fortune Chinese Calligraphy Set is a great gift idea.
This set includes a brocade-covered, accordion-fold book for calligraphic exploration, two brushes (with brush rest), a water pot and ladle, an “ink stick” (this is rubbed against the ink stone - the resulting concentrated powder is then mixed with drops of water to make the ink), ink stone; a carved stone seal, and a porcelain jar of red seal paste. The seal is of the Chinese character Fu, which means good fortune. |
