    Your Recipient's Story Card:

    Be Sweet was born while founder Nadine Storyk Curtis was living in South Africa. She decided to help Xhosa craftswomen in the impoverished East Cape region to bring their exquisite handcrafted goods to a wider market.

    Your eco-friendly recycled-cotton handbag was handcrafted with care by the Xhosa artisan who wrote her name on a tag and tied it to your bag.

    Enjoy this unique and gorgeous wearable art from South Africa!
