Global Effort

Made in collaboration with the United Nations Ethical Fashion Initiative and Italian social co-operative Cartiera, Goodee’s new Bassi Market tote is truly the result of a meeting of the minds. Not only is it crafted with handwoven textiles made by artisans connected by social co-operatives in Burkina Faso but its design was conceived by Goodee’s founders, Montreal’s Byron and Dexter Peart, who launched the renowned luxury brand Want Les Essentiels (best known for its selection of natty handbags). The tote’s launch is another feather in the cap of the Peart brothers, who saw Goodee earn enviable B Corp certification earlier this year.
