Leather Shoe Ornament
Made in: Haiti
Artisan Group: Deux Mains
In addition to leather handbags and accessories, FMSC MarketPlace partner Deux Mains also produces school shoes for children in Haiti. While they have quite a few charity partners who purchase shoes for the children they support, they have an even longer list of organizations who want to buy shoes for their kids, but cannot afford to purchase them due to the ongoing crisis and increased cost of operating in Haiti.
To help these students, they've made darling school shoe-shaped Christmas ornaments from the leftover leather scraps used to make the actual school shoes! All proceeds from the sale of these ornaments will go directly to school shoes for needy kids in Haiti this holiday season. Not only does this provide much-needed footwear for children so they can go to school, it also secures jobs for craftsmen and women at Deux Mains.
