Girlawhirl really doesn’t give much thought to her luggage tag – except when she’s at the turnstile waiting for her bag. But while traveling recently she saw the prettiest hand embroidered luggage tag, which, after striking up a conversation with the owner of the suitcase it was on, she came to find out did a whole lot more than just look good…
Made by hand by artisans in Peru, the flowered luggage tag was colorful and still sturdy enough to handle the rigors of airline travel – if only Girlawhirl felt that way herself! On the flip side there was the typical clear plastic that protected a business card inserted inside.
The woman went on to explain that the tag was made following fair trade principles, providing financial security to the women who make them. She told Girlawhirl that she bought hers online at harrietandleo.com.
