Brand Spotlight - ESPEROS Brings Hope to Kids in Schools

March 9, 2015

Esperos - Bringing Hope

The mission at ESPEROS is to provide children in the developing world with access to education through the sale of premium, good looking products.

They have focused their attention on education in the developing world because they believe, as Nelson Mandela once said, that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education not only brings hope for the child receiving it, but also for entire communities.  Education is empowerment, and ESPEROS believes that access to a quality education should be available to all. 

 

How much does Esperos Donate?

One of the very first PoP students, when we met Nuth she had no school to attend. Now, she studies at the Pha Theung Preschool. Learn more at www.pencilsofpromise.org

ESPEROS puts its money where its mouth is, so to speak. With every product sold, ESPEROS donates 10% of the proceeds to help fund education for children in need. The money from each sale is donated in partnership with non-profits such as Pencils of Promise to help provide access to education for children around the world.

 

How It's Made

Proudly designed in Austin, TX, Esperos bags offer a unique blend of style, function and durability at an affordable price. Esperos combines clean lines and simple shapes to create a classic yet distinctive look that you can wear anywhere. Each bag has thoughtfully planned pockets, attachments and compartments to ensure that they are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional.

Esperos is committed to working with manufacturing partners they know and trust. That means using high quality materials, adhering to ethical workplace standards and paying workers comfortable, living wages. 

Esperos products are made with durable, fine-aging canvas. The material itself is sturdy but lightweight for effortless travel and durability. Waterproof, stain resistant, and machine washable, their canvas bags epitomize easy maintenance. In sourcing their fabrics, Esperos works with cotton mills that have been fine-tuning their craft for nearly a century. They use fabrics that are free from harmful treatments, chemicals, and dyes.
