When you purchase from Mandy’s Purses you join a network that enables village artisans to stay on their land and with their families.  They don’t have to leave for weeks at a time to work at far away factories.  These women can now support their families, improve  village economics, and strengthen the economic position for women and gender equality through this process of direct trade and fair prices.

In this partnership, Vietnamese artisans express their artistic talents and spur their creativity be developing unique lines of women accessories.  This empowers them to conserve their cultural traditions in a financially viable way.  Their creative freedom allows us to provide unique and high quality hand crafted items to you.

At the deepest essence, our mission is to create a direct link between you and the many talented artisans in Vietnam.
