A Cry for Craft

Larone Crafts Inc. is a Philippines based company. All handbags and clutches are created and handcrafted by weavers and artisans from all over the country. This cottage-type industry helps women in less developed areas of the Philippines earn a living for their families.

 

“Established in 1984, we have been working closely with micro-businesses, cooperatives, and skilled artisans to provide customers with a quality product that is both fashionable and functional; at the same time, we are committed to providing these individual weavers and workers with a stable livelihood and source of income.”

We think these designs and craftsmanship are to be featured and recognized. If you own a boutique, this would be the perfect platform for these goods to sell.

Sweet Treat

Have any of you read Amy Thomas’ “Paris, My Sweet: A Year in the City of Light (and Dark Chocolate)”. We were skimming it at the airport before a flight and we took liking to the last paragraph of her preface. This girl has done what many dream about and it would be great to live vicariously through her. We’ll just have to go out and buy the book and report back shortly…
