The Deckest Bag in the Universe

The deckest bag ever has just been invented by Brooklyn resident Kate Bryant. Kate, originally from Ohiotucky spent $250,000 on her Pratt Degrees."When not working on her line, Kate rides her vintage Peugeot to her day job as a copywriter." Yes, of course she does.

This bag retails for "only" $325. Yes, $325.
These sustainable and artisanally made pieces are produced in the garment district under "fair labor conditions". All the Hondurans employed in the Midtown sweatshop earn a "liveable wage", which in Honduras is $.079 per hour. This might seem like just pennies, but those Honduran laborers packed 35 to a 1-br apt in Queens sure have it good, Nicaraguans earn only $0.42 per hour. This fair trade and sustainable practice ensures that each Honduran laborer is able to send $4.50 to their families in Honduras each month.

    Oh ho ho, what a coincidence, I live right next door to those Honduran laborers.
