Elevita April 2019 Review
Once again, everything arrived in this lovely cotton drawstring bag! Such a nice bonus!
This is the letter I received in my package this month, detailing the contents. I especially appreciate the detail it provides about the artisans who created this month's handicrafts. It gives it such a special, personal touch!
Trivet, Philippines
What a cool trivet! It's a great design, not only in terms of aesthetics, but I think the open design will keep the table cool for sure. I wish I knew what it is made out of, though. The info sheet says it was hand-made by artisans in the Philippines out of "all-natural materials." I'm glad to have it, anyway.
June Freshwater Pearl Necklace, Pearls With Purpose - Retail Value $35
I love this necklace! Look at how pretty it is! That's a genuine freshwater pearl on a sterling silver chain with an "antique" charm. It's really a beautiful piece. Pearls With Purpose is a nonprofit organization that helps women in underdeveloped countries get training and dignified work. They operate in India, Cambodia, and the Philippines.
Batik Scarf, Ghana
I think this would actually make a better headscarf than neck but I couldn't deal with my hair the day I took these pictures, haha. It's just gorgeous! I love it! It's hand-batiked by women in Ghana who are part of a fair-trade sewing organization. The pattern is really pretty.
The Verdict: Elevita is awesome! I really appreciate everything they do to help global artisans, and I love feeling like I'm a part of that. This month's items were all great! I am having a hard time deciding if I love the necklace or the scarf more! I can't often find values for the items Elevita sends, but I always feel like the value far outstrips the cost of the box. $30 plus free shipping for these lovely items is a steal!
