Being green is part of every decision we make. To Choose Organic. Conventionally grown cotton (more that 99% of the world's cotton supply) has significant negative impacts on the environment and on human health, primarily due to toxic chemical use. As a result, consumers are exposed to them daily in the food they eat, the water they drink, the air and dust they breathe, as well as on surfaces inside their homes and at work, and in public places. Because organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides, chemicals, and fertilizers - supporting organic cotton is a great way to promote more sustainable and healthy environmental practices and preserve air and water quality. Organic farming is part of the solution to reduce reliance on potentially dangerous pesticides and fertilizers highly dependent on oil and natural gas for their production. Supporting organic farmers, no matter where they are on the planet, helps to take care of our water and soil resources. Made in the USA. Indiana to be specific.

Our expert designers clean and hand-cut the leather and suede to give every Pax4u Leather Solo or Mini bag a unique look and timeless quality. Our Story Hip Bag Several years ago, co-founder Janet Sharp-Freedman and her family were visiting Africa on a vacation. Prone to back trouble, Janet found it uncomfortable to carry a purse while exploring South Africa. The added weight on her shoulders made it difficult to carry her children or any additional items purchased along the way. One afternoon, while walking through a local market, Janet spotted a woman wearing a bag around her hips that was unlike anything she had seen before. It was more than a fanny pack, less than a backpack and left her hands completely free. While much more basic in design, Janet realized that a more fashionable, higher quality bag utilizing the same core concept could dramatically improve her life and others. Drawing on her background in biomechanics and kinesiology, Janet went home and designed a bag for herself and later for her friends with similar needs. Throughout the years, demand for this new, innovative bag was more than she ever anticipated and thus, Pax4u was born. |
