Mar y sol

MAR Y SOL by Mad Imports was launched in 2003 by Laurel Brandstetter, whose background in community development and urban planning led her to start a socially and environmentally responsible company. MAR Y SOL markets handmade handbags from Madagascar and Kenya, where the colorful accessories fuse the traditional and contemporary, using renewable and raw materials. The end result: clutches, totes, and shoulder bags for anyone who fancies texture and a vast color spectrum. Furthermore, sales of MAR Y SOL products allow families in Kenya and Madagascar to gain economic independence and promotes environmental conservation.
