Charitable Water Print Bags

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Quilted Handbags Support Access to Clean Drinking Water

— October 19, 2015 — Social Good
MZ Wallace and the 'Food52' blog teamed up to design a quilted handbag that supports a good cause. In many parts of the world, access to clean drinking water is extremely limited. The sales of this bag help support improving access to clean water in countries around the world.

The 'Metro Tote' is a quilted handbag that features a custom water print lining. The quilted exterior is made from lightweight nylon, which is durable and water-resistant. The interior features a detachable pouch that can be used to pack travel supplies, snacks or even cosmetics. In addition to its stylish design, the bag also supports a good cause. 15 percent of total proceeds will go towards charities that support improving access to clean drinking water.

The Metro Tote is perfect for those who are looking for an easy way to give back.
Trend Themes
1. Charitable Fashion - There is an opportunity for more fashion brands to partner with charities to support social causes and have a positive impact.
2. Eco-friendly Products - As environmental awareness grows, the demand for sustainable products like the water-resistant nylon used in MZ Wallace's Metro Tote could increase.
3. Philanthropic Consumerism - Consumers are increasingly looking to support social causes through their purchases, creating opportunities for brands to develop products with charitable tie-ins.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry could benefit from incorporating more charitable tie-ins into their designs and offerings.
2. Travel - The detachable pouch in MZ Wallace's Metro Tote makes it a convenient option for travelers, showcasing potential for charitable tie-ins with travel industry brands.
3. Environmentalism - The use of water-resistant nylon in the Metro Tote highlights the potential for eco-friendly products, creating opportunities for the development of sustainable materials and manufacturing processes.
