My 11 year old absolutely loves the coin purse. She keeps it in her lunch sack and puts change in it for bake sales at school! She also really appreciates the fact that it's handmade.

Product Details

Dimensions:
3" x 4" Flat

Bazura bags are made in the Philippines by a women's cooperative, utilizing used juice containers. These containers are purchased through a network of local school children. Indestructible and non-biodegradable by nature, foil juice packs clog landfills, fields and streets throughout the Philippines. Using clever designs that combine the material's strength & brilliant colors, the co-op helps keep the environment clean via this very cool method of recycling.

About Bazura Bags

Bazura Bags come from a women's co-op in the Philippines that set up a Livelihood Project assisted by the local village council. With almost no capital, the women found a very clever way to support themselves.

Every day, children from the local schools collect over 50,000 used drink containers, called doy packs, then sell them to the co-op. The bags are sanitized and the women sew them together into attractive, durable bags.

Unlike most third world factory workers toiling away in sweatshops, these women are entrepreneurs and shareholders. They work for themselves and have a positive impact on their community and, at the same time, they encourage environmentalism.

Fact
It's estimated that millions of juice containers get thrown in the trash everyday in the Philippines.

Great idea, but I'm disappointed.
0 out of 3 customers found this review helpful

by amy t - 01/2010

I loved the idea until I got them and saw how small they were. They are useless to me as snack transport. Not only are they small, but they are tight and flat as they lack depth expansion. One Oreo will fit. These would be more practible for food if they had side and bottom gusseting. I use them to hold a few coins.

by Elizabeth P - 12/2008

I like that the bags are colorful so that they are easily spotted in a big purse. The size could be a little smaller for my taste.

The small wallet from the Philippines, made by wom

by Desiree P - 12/2008

The small wallet from the Philippines, made by women. Gave one to my daughter and her BFF. They're 18 and 20 years old and REALLY appreciate the juice box design AND the fact that the purchase helped women financially. Stainless containers: haven't used them yet but gave one to daughter and one for me. I like the ease in which the top opens, yet feels secure enough not to leak. Lunch box (red) with removable divider. Good idea to have a removable divider. Daughter says she will make her sushi and take to school with her for lunch (college). Likes it very much

This product arrived quickly, and I'm very happy with it. It has a cute little Velcro front that keeps your change inside, and the juice box design is very cool.

This coin purse is perfect!

by Brenda D - 10/2008

This coin purse is perfect! It's small and the coins don't drop out inside of my handbag. It's outside pocket is useful to keep an emergency bill or two as well. Brenda

Great little pouches!

by Tina W - 10/2008

Great little pouches! I purchased one for my son for days he needs to carry money for school (ice cream day, etc.) and he loves it! I also purchased a few for gifts for friends - so colorful and a great conversation piece to boot! My son currently has his rosary in his little pouch, lol!

by Jennifer F - 06/2008

I bought one for me and one for my daughter. I put my debit card in the outside pocket and my licence and cash on the inside pocket. It works well in my purse yet it's small enough to carry in a pocket.
