Understated utility—with a touch of whimsy. The Parker bag. Made as much for a Sunday stroll through the farmer’s market as for lugging books home from the local library. Handcraft ed with purpose of medium weight organic canvas, the Parker bag is a classically designed workhorse with a cosmopolitan twist. The underside of each handle is lined with an authentic, upcycled sari—a delightful pop of color that makes each bag one-of-a-kind. Made of equal parts cotton and relentless determination. Crafted exclusively for Olive+Comet, the Parker Bag is handmade by the women of Joyya, our fair trade partner in Kolkata, West Bengal. Through their unwavering commitment to banish poverty and human trafficking within local communities, Joyya empowers at-risk women by providing choices for healthy, meaningful and equitable employment—spreading hope and economic opportunity in the process. We’re proud of this bag, and all that it stands for. It does more than carry what you put inside—it carries people forward. Show more
