This owl purse is handmade in Thailand. Scraps of fabric are used to make colorful "wings".
- All purses have a solid color body but the fabrics will vary as no two are identical.
- The eyes are sewn on by a girl with Down's syndrome.
The main artisan got her business started from a micro loan from World Vision over 10 years ago and now she employs 35 people in her village!
