Happy Earth Day 2012

Happy Earth Day 2012

Dsenyo is not only committed to Fair Trade practices but environmental stewardship as well.  Having a minimal impact on the environment is a central principle for Dsenyo.  Here is how we practice that:
  • We create as little waste as possible by using textile remnants in new product dsigns (Eco Shopper, Greeting Cards, Tissue Pouches)
  • We source sustainable fibers like Jute, Organic Cotton and recycled stuffing when possible (Table Runners, Placemats, Hobo, Wristlet, Little Friends)
  • We use up-cycled and repurposed materials in product design (Denim Tote, Denim Button Bag, Denim Hip Bag, Coil Earrings, Coasters, Woven Trays)
  • We make a minimal carbon footprint in Malawi (most of our producers don't have electricity so they hand-stitch or work on treadle sewing machines, we also use public transport)
  • In the USA Dsenyo uses 80-100% post consumer material shipping boxes and/or reclaimed boxes.
  • Our hang tags, business cards and other promotional materials are printed with soy inks on recycled paper.
  • We recycle in our office, practice composting and print as little as possible.

The swing bag I purchased from the Dsenyo Moza collection is the best over the shoulder bag I have found.  I use it in every season! I looked specifically for a purse style with a long, adjustable stap that allows me to secure the purse across my body and this swing bag has everything I wanted. The purse is a perfect size and all the pockets keep my loot organized and accessible.
