Purse for the People

Purse for the People is focused on manufacturing customized handmade bags in the USA. They believe in using business as a force for good on the planet. Their story begins with a desire to see their hometown flourish and prosper. The founder, Carole Murphy, says Butte, Montana, the town she grew up in, sometimes reminds her of Detroit with a designated urban blight area comprised of once opulent and beautiful historic buildings. The community and its citizens are very determined to save their colorful history and bring revitalization to the town. Murphy’s love of beautiful handcrafted items, fashion, sustainable business, and her hometown were all brought together in a marriage that gave birth to Purse for the People.
