Their are several items including bracelets ( O Bracelet and Sister bracelet), necklaces, baskets (which are the number one export out of Rwanda under the African Growth an Opportunity Act) and bowls.

Looking for the perfect Mother’s Day Gift? Look no further than Pursehook.net. I love their stuff and decided to highlight some of the products I personally own. I’m also a big fan of any company that gives back (using recycled materials and donating to charity).
FUMI Pursehook Vibrant – $24.95
Nothing shows off a Vibrant personality like this zebra print FUMI! I love the Zebra print on leather inlaid in a Pewter Finish FUMI.
The FUMI (Fashionable, Unique, Multipurpose, Innovation) is the new Patent Pending designer way to store your purse while in public. However, FUMI is not only a PurseHook! It also functions as a bracelet, a purse accessory, and brings good luck and fortune to the wearer.
Eco-friendly packaging. The FUMI is made of recycled materials and has a 100% recycled rubber pad to grip any surface.
Pursehook Fashion Diva – $19.95
Style and function at its best. Not only will the PurseHook highlight your inner “fashionista,” you’ll never have to lay your beautiful purse on a dirty floor again!
This silver finish PurseHook comes with a Je’Marie PurseHook embroidered black velvet bag for easy storage. Holds at least 35lbs. Backing made of 100% recycled rubber with the authentic Je’Marie stamp. PurseHook made of high quality recycled metal.
Scarlett Zebra – $19.95 Scarletts are a great way to enhance the look of your handbag with a simple clip. It instantly adds a new chic look to your bag making it a perfect accessory all year around. Every Scarlett is made of the highest quality poly-lycra fabulously printed on both sides. Pair it with a FUMI by Je’Marie for a look where class meets function…

You gotta love a company that gives back – particularly in tough times. TOMS shoes is a cause based company that gives one pair of shoes to a child in need for EVERY pair of shoes purchased. So far, TOMS has given over 130,000 pairs of shoes to children in need – in South America, Africa and even here in the United States – via their Shoe Drops where the TOMS team hand delivers shoes to poverty stricken communities. From Scarlett Johanssen to Liv Tyler celebrities are donning their Toms in style (and giving back at the same time).
