0 Item(s) in Cart: $0.00Spring Forward: Opal Clutch
September 7th, 2009
Whether you’re stuck in the Midwest digging out from one of those annoying late-in-the-season snowstorms or you’re on the coast trudging through a cloudy wet day, it’s safe to assume we’re all ready for some sunlight. We can’t think a single accessory that better exemplifies the bright, simple, happiness of Spring and Summer than the Opal Clutch.
While we were originally drawn to the stunning Starburst design, we love that there are multiple color options for more classic, subtle tastes. These 
handwoven raffia clutches are made in Madagascar by a fair trade company that is dedicated helping women and families become economically independent.
More about the Fair Trade company Mad Imports:
Mad Imports is a socially & environmentally responsible company that markets handmade fashion accessories from Madagascar & Kenya . Our eclectic accessories blend traditional and contemporary design ideas of our international design team who incorporate renewable raw materials to create vivid & original clutches, totes and shoulder bags. The sale of our products enables families to gain economic independence and promotes environmental conservation.
Laurel Brandstetter launched Mad Imports in 2003 as an outgrowth of a Madagascar-based development project started by her relative, James Sellers. With a background in community development, urban planning and volunteer public health work she realized an opportunity to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life in local communities through the sale of handmade products. Since 2003, Mad Imports’ products have appeared in major fashion publications including O, Domino, Lucky, Glamour, Cottage Living and TV spots including E! News and the CBS early show.

These bags are really well made. I love how those who purchase the bag get to help out less fortunate families. Can’t wait to see more from this company!

I just got this purse and I’m in love! This is going to be getting a lot of use. It’s a perfect size and the coloring and design is just wonderful. Also I’ve seen this purse in all sorts of magazines. It’s getting a lot of press! I love buying cute items with a discount and looking great.

Oh no!
I am in love with the starburst clutch, but it appears to be sold out.
Does anyone know if they will be getting in any more of the rainbow patterned bags anytime soon…or ever?
Help!

Hi:
I was interested in ordering the rafia multi-colored clutch. I noticed that it was on backorder until June 22. I was wondering if I will still be able to order this product?

Hi Mona,
You can go ahead and order the Opal Clutch right now and your card will be charged at the time that the order is placed. We expect the Opal Clutch to ship out to you around the end of June. Its a good idea to order your purse now as they are selling fast!

Hi,
It says that your rainbow clutch is on backorder but I still can’t order it for after June 25th? Does that mean that you do not have any left? Please let me know as soon as possible since I really would love to have this bag.
Thanks!
