To serve you better, I have moved Debra's List to a new server at

There is a lot of hand work I need to do there, so I am leaving this site up until all that work is done.

All new entries will go on the new site.

All the entries from this site are on the new site, but may not be formatted.

Thanks for your patience during this transition.

Debra :-)

Bags


Hemp Sisters

Gold StarNon ToxicFair Trade

All kinds of colorful and creative bags made from hemp, cotton, and recycled silk: travel and utility bags, shoulder and tote bags, passport and field bags, wallets and purses, and sling bags. Very sturdy and durable. "Hemp Sisters is dedicated to providing one-of-a-kind, high-quality, hand-crafted clothing and accessories made of earth-sustaining, environmentally-friendly natural fiber materials such as hemp, nettle, recycled silk and wool.Hemp and nettle grow wild in nature and are hand-processed without chemicals on a traditional pit-loom by native villagers in the remote western villages of the Himalayan Kingdom Nepal. Recycled silk items are made by gathering waste pieces of silk from the cutting room floors of commercial producers in India and are then re-spun and hand knitted or crocheted into unique creations for Hemp Sisters. All Hemp Sisters items are hand-made by working women's cooperatives in Kathmandu, Nepal that pay fair wages, provide excellent working environmenys, and support the local women's community through scholarships and employment opportunities."

Port Canvas

NaturalNon Toxic

This company specializes in "rugged," well-made, durable, canvas bags in all shapes and sizes--from totes to briefcases, handbags, sportsbags, and luggage. Choose from 15 colors of cotton canvas, 3 colors for handles, and they can add an embroidered monogram or name. "All bags and totes are constructed of heavyweight 100% cotton vat-dyed canvas and webbing...We've gone the extra distance by double-folding and stitching canvas on all zipper gussets, and binding all key edges of our bags. Because each product is completely hand stitched by one person, no two will be exactly the same, you'll even find the sewer's initials right inside your bag. Every Port Canvas bag is handmade to customer specifications."
