ABOUT CAUSEGEAR
CAUSEGEAR is a new category of gear that’s changing the way things are made, and the reason we buy things. We’re starting with messenger bags, handbags, backpacks, and other high-design gear – that creates a unique one to one connection between you the consumer and the crafter who made it. Every time you use your CAUSEGEAR, you see the name and face of the person who made your gear – right on the tag.

We work with the poorest of the poor on the earth – less than $2/day, mix-mud-with-your-rice poverty – and train them to become CAUSEGEAR crafters. 10% of all sales goes to 4x the wages and job benefits for someone formerly trapped in unfathomable poverty and injustice. 

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
