Supporting artists and youth around the world!

I just love a good news story. Particularly when you hear about a business who is doing a variety of good things to make their mark.

Imagine a beautiful bag hand made with love by women who receive in return great working conditions and long-term support. Combined with a foundation who uses the profits from this bag to fund educational projects that tackle delicate teenage health issues around the world – and you have a recipe of goodness. Goodness wrapped up in a bag. The most beautifully designed due to artist collaboration and quality craftsmanship.

Introducing the Bottletop bag.

Bottletop Bag3The Bottletop range consists of beautiful handmade craftsmanship combined with high quality contemporary design. The range includes bags, clutches, purses and belts along with music and art.  The bags vary with some featuring intricate lightweight recycled aluminium ring pulls held together by crotchet, while others combine beautiful soft Brazilian leather from Bahia with silver pull tabs subtly hand braided in to the seams.

Bottletop funds the operation of the Bottletop Foundation, which uses contemporary art and music to raise funds and awareness for education projects that tackle delicate teenage health issues such as HIV/AIDS, drug abuse and teenage pregnancy. The Bottletop Foundation supports over 35,000 young people each year through education projects in Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Brazil and the UK.

Bottletop’s mission is to empower young people; to protect themselves, their families, their communities and the environment.  They show that innovation, creativity and collaboration can make a worthwhile product and a meaningful difference around the world.
