OOVOO from Vietnam

We don't get many and they don't hang around for long.

The owner of OOVOO is Pauline Lewis.  Here's what she has to say:

"Those closest to me are amused that I am in the handbag business.  Prior to oovoo, I had 3 bags in my closet; all of them plain black.  Now, I have an entire warehouse full of bags in brilliant colors and lush textures! 

 

 I started oovoo because of my love for all things handcrafted and a desire to build a business model based on positive working relationships, especially among women.  Almost all my customers and vendors are women – this network creates a full circle of support for the women of Vietnam by the women in the United States, and vice versa.

 

 Many customers ask me if oovoo means anything.  oovoo has it’s roots in the word “ovo,” which is defined in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as “from the egg,” or “from the beginning.” This goes back to the circle of women that I work with, which is fully represented in the oovoo™ brand."

     Pauline left the corporate world a few years ago and traveled back to Asia. She was inspired by the women she met along the way and started to work with Vietnamese women to design and make distinctive women’s accessories. She started to work with one Vietnamese designer in particular: Ms. Le Thi Hong Tu, better known as Hong Tu. Hong Tu's designs, combined with Pauline's vision and direction, are the cornerstone of Oovoo™ design.


Thus, Oovoo™ handbags have a unique blend of Asian and Western influences that translate into handcrafted works of art.


The bags are 100% hand-embroidered and carefully crafted. No embroidery machines are involved in making these bags, and therefore no two bags are ever the same.


The manufacturing locations have been carefully chosen to ensure provision of workers’ rights in accordance with trade regulations. These beautiful bags are made by people who are well-treated in their work environment.

This alliance between two woman-owned enterprises has grown to support over 600 women in Vietnam with 120 full-time employees in the southern region of Vietnam and 500 part-time embroiders in the North.

African Hope Crafts

Helping Other People Earn

A Christian Job Creation Program
Living Hope Community Centre
Cape Town, South Africa

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us ...
if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously..."
-Romans 12:6, 8

 

The jewelry has been handcrafted at Living Hope Community Center in South Africa by HIV+ mothers and fathers, ages 17 to 50, who live in a nearby shanty town.

Our prayer is that orders will increase so that more can work and provide for their children. Please pass this page around and pray that their spiritual and physical needs are met.

We are pleased to announce that we now have the African Hope Crafters Jewelry at Lorla's.  The sets are $20.00 each.  That's right $20.00 for a necklace, earrings, and bracelet.  Your purchase not only puts food on the tables of those much less fortunate than you.  Please help us help families with HIV+ in Africa.

Check them out at www.africanhopecrafts.org

Every purchase of our African Hope Crafters Jewelry goes to benefit men, women and children with HIV/AIDS!  Did you know that we share the profits with them as well?  We bought them cow!

Nomnikelo, one of our long-time crafters, got married this month. She is very happy and so are we. She is the third to marry her live-in boyfriend since we began talking about the importance God places on marriage, and two other crafters are seriously considering this. Labolo, an African sort of dowry, has been a major stumbling block for many. If a woman is "worth" anything in the eyes of the man, then he will pay the bride's parents with the number of cows they request. Cows cost more than $200 each and many parents want ten or so, and in Nomnikelo's case, fifteen (which we feel she's certainly worth!) With wages low and unemployment high, many couples opt to simply live together. There are many valid reasons behind the tradition of labolo, one being that the husband has to pay an extra cow should he ever hit his wife. Also, the parents are often supporting extended family and friends and may be unable to find work themselves or be approaching old age and need the cows for milk, meat and trade. We knew we wouldn't be successful convincing them to abandon centuries of tradition, but we also knew that their living arrangements were not God's plan for them. Three things came together for this major shift in their lives. One, their hearts were being softened to hear the word of God; two, we asked them to talk to their families about accepting a few cows upfront with more to come over time; and three, Kensington Community Church friends, Dale and Gale Adams, sold the idea of "buying a cow" to their small group and others. Each "farmer," as the Adams refer to them, donated enough for one or more cows. Nomnikelo's husband had saved for a couple of his own and along with the "farmer's" cow he had three when he went to his father-in-law, along with a promise to pay the rest over time. You just can't imagine how happy this young couple, as well as their daughter, are.

So .... anyone else want to be a farmer?


Ancient Glass

Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Poppi is the fun and clever alter ego of Dawn Benedetto.  It's a line of jewelry that doesn't take life too seriously. The glass and sterling rings are Dawn's invention and are unique in that they stretch to fit most everyone. Poppi adds a splash of color to jeans or an extra spark to ignite a little black dress; heck, it'll even brighten up a trip to the grocery store. If nothing else, it's a statement. Poppi laughs. Poppi flirts.  Poppi screams.  Poppi says it all without you saying a thing.
