Wear your Country Cloth with pride. This hat comes in handy on cool days, ski outings or just bad hair days. Every hat contains a square of handmade Country Cloth from our Women's Weaving Collaborative and proceeds go back to supply the women with more product to create and sell. Restore Hope is donating half of the proceeds from its signature "Country Cloth pride" hat to The UKRAINIAN EDUCATION PLATFORM (UEP), a charitable organization with over 20 years of experience in social transformation. They are focusing their efforts on humanitarian support: providing emergency shelter, psychological, and social and emotional support for internally displaced persons (IDPs), mostly women and children. |

African woven clutch purses
"Country Cloth" is a woven cloth made from strip weaving, native to Liberia and West Africa. Traditionally a male craft, women have been reviving the art over the past decades in Liberia. These are culturally rich, each unique to its maker and her story.
When you buy one of these handmade clutch purses, you are holding the hope of a woman in your hands and creating meaningful change for her future. You are holding her yesterday which is riddled with war, food insecurity, and unspeakable loss. You are holding her today which is filled with possibilities. Your purchase empowers her for a better tomorrow for herself and her children.
