GIVEAWAY: $250 Gift Card For Better Life Bags
When you buy from Better Life Bags you get more than a beautiful high quality bag, you also get to feel good knowing you are supporting moms in our community. Enter to win a $250 e-gift card for a Better Life Bag!
When Rebecca Smith first became a mom 10 years ago she decided she wanted to make her own diaper bag. It took her 12 hours but she did it and posted her success on social media. Instantly, her friends encouraged her to start selling them. Rebecca soon became so busy with orders that she decided to hire her neighbor, Nadia, to help.
Nadia is from Yemen and working with and for Rebecca allowed her to contribute to her household while staying close to home. This allowed Nadia to grow her confidence and her economic status. As Better Life Bags has grown, Rebecca has been able to hire more women in Hamtramck and help change the lives of families in her neighborhood.
Every Better Life Bags is made by hand in Hamtramck with high-quality fabrics and leather. When you buy a bag you can design one to your specifications or select a ready to ship style. You can also shop the store and help Rebecca celebrate BLB’s 10 year anniversary on Saturday, August 24th at a special warehouse sale!
We LOVE our Better Life Bags and are excited to give one lucky reader a chance to win a $250 gift card.
