This Buffalove charcoal grey crossbody bag with hearts is handmade in Buffalo, NY by Shree Tamang, Pingala Pulami, Bishnu Bhujal, and Phul Maya Biswa, who are all refugees from from Bhutan/Nepal who is now living in Buffalo's West Side neighborhood.  They are members of SewREDI Buffalo, a Refugee Economic Development Initiative in Buffalo, NY which helps teach refugees sewing skills, gets them sewing machines, and helps them learn economic empowerment.

About this bag:

We ship on Saturdays during our work sessions, and these bags take 1-2 weeks to make if your desired lining combo is out of stock.

This bag measures approximately 7 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" tall by 2" deep at its widest parts.  

The inside of this purse is fully lined with an inside pocket.  It has a magnetic snap closure and a black vegan leather strap that adjusts from 46" - 52" long.  You can choose a red lining or a black lining.

This bag comes with a hand-stamped leather charm with a Buffalo on it, to remind you of your important role in our mission.

You can learn about the refugee clients who make these items in our shop's "about" section!

This fabric was designed by a Buffalo-based designer and is printed in the USA on 100% cotton fabric using eco-friendly pigments and dyes with little waste.

100% of the profits from your purchase will go directly to the refugee who made your item. SewREDI provides all the materials for these projects, which allows our clients the freedom to make as many items for sale as they want! SewREDI is operated entirely by volunteers, which allows our refugee clients to charge a living wage for their craft with almost no overhead.
