Add a review
Lucia is dedicated to creating original, handmade handbags while minimizing textile waste and providing dignified work in the Dominican Republic. It focuses on upcycling donated fabrics and repurposed materials into nice handbags and cosmetic bags. Lucia empowers women locally by teaching them to sew and providing them with an important skill, thus backing their financial independence. They provide fair wages to the artisans, promote a good working environment, and work toward their self-sufficiency. All the extra profit made from the sales by Lucia is reinvested in Levanta Ministries for education, community development, and spiritual programs in Villa Montellano. This integrated approach reduces textile waste but has a deep impact on the community in terms of better education and supporting social programs at the heart of this community. Lucia's case demonstrates ethics at work in making a difference toward the common good through her commitment to sustainability and community development.
