This is exciting news! Donna Karan has been supporting Haiti tirelessly since the quake and even 3 years later her commitment is still strong. She attended the opening of  a Little Haiti Cultural Center exhibition of art, accessories and furnishings produced by artisans in Haiti and sold through her Urban Zen Foundation last week in Miami. Karan sported a paper mache handbag by a Haitian artisan inspired by Haiti’s handmade carnival masks.
“A painting can say anything, but let’s get it out there in the world where people buy T-shirts,” Karan said at the opening of a Little Haiti Cultural Center exhibition of art, accessories and furnishings produced by artisans in Haiti and sold through Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation.
It’s no charity craft fair. The items artfully displayed in the Miami gallery would sell in any mainstream home furnishings store. What sets them apart is their origin: handmade in Haiti from stone, wood, metals and textiles sourced or repurposed in the Caribbean country.
