The Perfect Accompaniment

Today, Shopping for a Change is featuring our new MEND Laptop Sleeve.  MEND is a nonprofit organization established to help bring an end to LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) atrocities in Uganda.  Skilled in the production of fair trade accessories, MEND is also a social enterprise designed to better the lives of women affected by the LRA conflict. The majority of seamstresses supported by MEND were abducted and forced to become child soldiers or wives of the commanders. After being fortunate to escape alive, these women were given counseling and taught how to sew. Excluded because of their former affiliation with the LRA, the already inundated market left them unable to provide for their children through the seamstress profession.

MEND's durable and functional 13” and 15” Laptop Sleeves are available in both navy and cement. Handcrafted in Northern Uganda, the sleeves feature 100% duck canvas exterior, padded diamond-stitched micro-suede interior, and a genuine terracotta leather band--branded with signature of the name and story of the artisan that made it. Slide this sleek sleeve easily into your briefcase, backpack, tote or other bag--with its simple, yet elegant styling this laptop sleeve is perfect for on-the-go travel.
