Some of our staff have been working with the women of Harvest Home, part of the Haven of Rest Ministries and Shelter in Akron. These women have started their own company "Carry Me Bags"These super cute and functional handbags and totes are made with remnant fabrics and other "up-cycled" materials.
More importantly, these bags mark a huge passage in the lives of many of these woman as they rebuild their lives and take their first steps on their journey towards independence and the joy of starting and running their own company. Appalachian Outfitters is acting in an advisory capacity and is providing space for Carry Me Bags to sell their products, 100% of the purchase price goes directly back to these new entrepreneurs. Please stop in today, check out these cool bags, and help support this new local business.
