limited throughout Africa, Market Colors sells many of these products in the United States, taking the proceeds and donations directly back to the artisans themselves.\u00a0 The company is staffed by volunteers and runs on donations, and their store features a lovely assortment of handmade goods that are truly on trend with today&#8217;s fashion.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve chosen five pieces to share with you, and I&#8217;m incredibly impressed with the beauty and construction of each product.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4623\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
