Designer Thursday: Hand in Hand for Kate Spade (by women in Bosnia and Herzogovina)

October 6, 2011
I have a soft spot for shopping that benefits a cause. Β Hand in Hand was an organization that I briefly worked with in graduate school; we helped them develop a marketing plan for one of their regions. Β They are an organization dedicated to promoting the native handicraft skills of underprivileged women in different areas all over the world. Β Now their artisans in Bosnia and Herzigovina have partnered with Kate Spade for a line of hand-knit collectibles.

Hand in Hand Pom Pom Scarf, Kate Spade, $175

Hand in Hand hair pin, Kate Spade, $48

See the full collection here.

I’m definitely thinking about the rose gold bangle (also available in white and yellow gold and 25% of the proceeds go towards the organization). Β The other items are a bit pricey, but I definitely admire the artisans and cause so this would be one of the first places I would turn if I wanted a knit necklace!

little luxury list
