Best of all, if you love the products as much as they do, we’ll share promo codes with you as well.

First up is Courtney, sharing where you can shop small for a must-have summer accessory to complete any look.
COLORES COLLECTIVE
Colores Collective was founded by Houstonian Kathryn Swain, 4 years ago. All of her bags are handwoven in Marrakesh, Morocco and are sustainable, eco-friendly and non toxic. Each bag is embellished featuring individually sewn sequins or embroidered names and designs. By the time a bag has been hand crafted and monogrammed, it has between 10-18 hours of work in each bag. Colores Collective employs over a dozen women in and around Marrakech, providing fair and generous wages that help support families and communities.
