(on Right) launched Mad Imports in 2003 as an outgrowth of a Madagascar-based development project started by her relative, James Sellers.

They provide market readiness training workshops to artisan groups and small businesses in Madagascar and Kenya. They have facilitated the construction of several clean water wells in rural Kenya with the generous support of private funders. They continue to work closely with artisan partners to support sustainable economic development projects, provide a venue for artistic expression and to stimulate cross-cultural exchange. This is accomplished through the ongoing product design and development process to ensure that the artisan partners will see sustainable growth from the sale of these products.

Prettiest bag I have ever had November 5, 2009
Reviewer: Cathy from Albany, NY  
This bag is a steal at this price! Its very pretty. These nice black balls on the off white background looks beautiful. The bag is neatly woven and looks exactly like shown in picture. Actually it looks better since picture doesnt do justice:) I called up Terra Trendz and they confirmed that bag is 100% Fairtrade. They even shipped it the same day I ordered the bag and i got it in just 2 days.
