Tribalogy

FB pftv-2

Tribalogy is a creation with cause. They offer all kinds of items produced by the skilled hands of women from disadvantaged communities in the Northern parts of Jordan. On a personal basis, Tribalogy teaches each individual the necessary techniques in order to finish thier products and to provide these women with:

– new skills to embroider, to sew by hand or machine, to assemble product pieces,
– a possibility to reduce stress and anxiety through these hands-on activities & creations,
– an opportunity to use their newly learned skills in order to gain income through the Tribalogy projects.

I have some of these beautiful purses available at the B&B.
