Project Gravitas Clara Crossbody, Black

A compact hands-free everyday style that can go from casual to dressy occasions. Black with gold hardware. Made from lightweight water-resistant nylon, The Clara features a durable, wipe-clean exterior. The front woven panel reminds us of how interconnected we are as a community and that our actions can positively impact others, with the 4 qualities of gravitas (strength, kindness, resilience, fearlessness) making up the center diamond. Proudly made in New York City’s Garment District, each tote provides a NYC seamstress with 2 hours of work. 100% of the cost to produce this bag goes directly to our community, touching 58 people’s lives: fabric cutters and seamstresses (32%), fabric and trim stores (30%), patternmakers and designers (20%), warehouse and office staff (18%).  “I am a working girl.” – Clara Lemlich Shavelson, a leader of the Uprising of 20,000 supporting shirtwaist workers in NYC’s garment industry in 1909 New without tags, never used.
