Our main goal was to empower the women, those who belong to the most vulnerable groups on the island. Since many refugees bring the skill to sew, this led to a young refugee man suggesting the idea to create bags. Soon after two very talented Ghanaian individuals created our first design and it was at this point we realised that the best thing to do was to open our workshops for everyone, no matter of their sewing experience, sex or background. We are happy to welcome our first male workshop participants: Two Afghans joined our classes.They have worked hard and learnt quickly allowing them to start producing the shopper bags whilst also enjoying the social aspect of regular classes together.
Something new to try and to learn. 
The bagforeveryone project gives a new perspective.
Get a sustainable bag
The sustainable vegan leather is sourced locally in Greece and are perfect for the colder Winter months: they are made from material that can resist snow and rain easily. Besides that: Would it not be a perfect gift to give someone for christmas? Choose the present for your loved one by going to the shop.
This is what we do
Our partner starfish foundation provides different courses every day at their community hub OpenSpace. Our sewing workshops are one of these courses available, they take place between 10am – 1pm and allow refugees to attend the workshop space with the support of tailors to help practice and develop sewing skills whether they are experienced or looking to try a new interest.
