Sarah’s Bag
I haven’t seen any of these bags in person, because they are in Lebanon. The website is (at time of writing) flegling, but check out the Press page for some stunners (you have to click on the magazine covers). Sarah’s Bag’s products are made by underprivileged women and require 10-15 days work each. Visit her here.
