I’ve always felt empowered simply by carrying that classic black bag with the sophisticated little “kate spade” label on it, so we can only imagine how the women of Bosnia and Herzegonia felt receiving creative direction from the high fashion designer while participating in a micro-enterprise training program sponsored by Women to Women International.
In these countries, where unemployment is reaching 50%, women have been given a life-changing opportunity to make a living by knitting hats, mittens and scarves for kate spade new york.
The kate spade new york “Hand in Hand” holiday line features these women’s hand-knit creations and continues, through this partnership, to employ women working to rebuild their lives, one mitten at a time.
Read the stories of these women and the behind-the-scenes journal of kate spade new york’s Creative Director. Then stock up for the winter. Wearing these handknitted goodies will make you feel warm both inside and out.
