Oak Lifestyle Messenger Bags Provide to Those in Need

— February 5, 2014 — Social Good
In a market that's saturated with products that do little for the social good, Oak Lifestyle Messenger Bags offer an easy way to give back in fashionable style. A fully functioning satchel that's perfect for students or commuters, Oak Lifestyle Messenger Bags have the business model that supports those without the means to obtain a pack for their few belongings. For each one purchased, Oak Lifestyle will provide a backpack to someone in the U.S. or Rwanda.

Coming in a variety of colors to suit any style, Oak Lifestyle Messenger Bags are made from 100% organic cotton and are sized generously enough to fit a 15.6" laptop without adding too much unnecessary space to keep things as light as possible.

3. Eco-friendly Fashion - The rise of eco-friendly fashion creates an opening for businesses to tap into environmentally conscious consumers by offering products made from sustainable materials, like the 100% organic cotton used in Oak Lifestyle Messenger Bags.
