Your Purchase Is Creating Opportunities for Local Women
Better Life Bags was founded to provide women in our local community of Detroit, MI safe employment. Everyone, especially mothers, deserves access to a flexible work environment that pays a fair living wage with annual raises.
Since 2010, founder Rebecca and loyal BLB customers have worked diligently to create a work family that gives local women a chance to succeed in life, family, and friendship.
When you receive your 100% hand-made bag with a note from the woman who made it, you can feel great knowing your ethical purchase directly supports our missional small business and local community.
