Feel Good Friday

There is something Faso’nating about being in a completely new environment.

You are given a blank slate…

to build on…

and the ability to create connections.

As a Peace Corps volunteer at a school in Burkina Faso, Victor built the strongest level of connection with a new community…inheriting a local family, life-long friends and a feeling of home 5,637 miles away from his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.  So he wanted to extend those connections to you too. With the same fabric worn by his host-mom of Leo, Burkina Faso…

Victor created a line of Burkina Faso totes…
