Heritage ReFashioned Wins Gold!
We are so stoked to have received some fabulous awards from the Hong Kong Smart Gifts Design Awards 香港智營禮品設計大賞! We won Gold in the Personal Accessory Gift Category, the Green Award and the Judge Award for our line of sustainable clutch purses upcycled from beautiful fabrics from China, Japan and Bhutan! A big thank you to our family and friends for the incredible encouragement and support over the past months. More exciting news coming soon!

Weaving is a cultural heritage in Bhutan and profits from these scarves go back to helping women weavers and their families in personal development, financial literacy and skills in entrepreneurship. This project is a collabration with Quin Sq founder of Hong Kong social enterprise, ANA by Karma.](http://www.refashion.hk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/13006663_213895492321436_3871354679019194428_n.jpg)
