New York Coffee Cup

36 people recommended this item

Description

New York city-centric coin purse started off as an exhibit in a New York art gallery, although its origins are much humbler. NYC artist George Skelcher inspired to create the purse after seeing Bowery beggars using the paper cups to panhandle for change. The design is modeled closely after the original NY Coffee Cup, featuring an accurate rendering of the Greek diner motif. Well-constructed of durable, printed leather, the purse closes with a sturdy brass zipper, measures 4-inches tall, 4-inches across at top, and 2-inches deep.

Crystal 4 Tier Chain Necklace

First to recommend

Description

So beautiful, I can't believe it's only $15.95! What a bargain!

Great gift idea for her! Great for your sister!

Facts from GreenFeet:
This fab necklace is hand strung with brilliant beads and dangles in 4 graceful tiers.
The adjustable closure allows for customization to fit your style.

Hand made by artisans at a fair trade group near New Delhi, India.

Don't know what fair trade is? Let us explain: Fair Trade is a commitment by companies to pay a livable wage in local context, engaging in environmentally sustainable practices, promoting healthy and safe working conditions within the local context and providing financial and technical assistance to producers wherever possible.

Artisans are able to support their families, local communities are preserved and you reap the rewards of beautiful, hand made goods. Sounds like a pretty good thing.
