Traditional Haitian Rara bands roam the streets at Carnival playing an eclectic assortment of instruments made of repurposed found objects and metal. RARA bags are constructed from up to 100% repurposed waste materials collected from local consumption and industry production in Haiti. A project designed and produced by k.lynn studio, each bag is hand made by low-income producers from around the country. Your  purchase provides an income to underprivileged  Haitian families while promoting environmental  awareness.
