This is the first time I have seen fashion and eco-sensibility come together in a tasteful and flawless way in a very long time, if not the first. Especially in the accessory world:

Kaija has created a line of totes and clutches that are handcrafted from organic and eco-friendly materials- yet are truly the ultimate in sophistication and style for accessories addicts everywhere.

Designer Khrisna Justo established Kaija in an effort to empower women in every community. Kaija, pronounced “kah-yah,” means “able”- a word which spurred Justo’s original inspiration to create the brand. During a visit to the Philippines, she discovered impoverished women proudly creating incomes by making goods out of weaving beautiful fibers. Seeing incredible potential in their techniques, she realized she had the ability to spread their talents and voices to a wider, global audience. 

Combining her Manhattan sense of style and a head for business, she made it the brand’s mission to provide stable employment and new opportunities for underprivileged women. The complete collection of Kaija handbags are also made of entirely natural and indigenous materials, and the result is exquisite: an eco-friendly handbag line with a cosmopolitan flare.
