$100 of the proceeds from the sale of this bag will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Oregon and Southwest Washington (RMHC®). They provide a “home away from home” for families and their seriously ill children who travel far to receive treatment at Portland hospitals, and award grants to non-profit organizations that offer children’s immunizations and dental care.

This purse helps reassign value to the pop top donations received by the houses. The scrap value of the aluminum in each purse is worth less than .75 cents, but with the purchase of this bag, you increase that donation by over 13,000%. Yes, that's thirteen THOUSAND percent. Who says beauty is only skin deep?
Constructed of over 1500 hand-pulled post-consumer aluminum pop-tops, this purse is as durable as it is beautiful. The horizontal pattern allows for the bag to move fluidly with your movements and slightly expands it's shape when full.
Smooth on all edges (no snagged clothing here!), each pop top is individually knotted in place, giving this purse some serious stability. Fully lined with tencel (a biodegradable fabric made from wood pulp cellulose), complete with 3 inner pockets and secure magnetic snap closure.
The long strap is perfect length to throw over a shoulder or across your chest, messenger style.
