Parker Clay
“a better bag for a better world.”
“While living in Addis Ababa, founders Ian and Brittany Bentley envisioned a way to bring the beautiful hand crafted leather goods made by local artisans to customers around the world and in doing so created opportunities for Ethiopian women to become economically independent in a safe and dignified work environment.

Why we love Parker Clay
uplifting women out of exploitation
In Addis Ababa alone there are an estimated 150,000 women involved in sex work. Giving women an opportunity to create economic security another way is the mission behind Parker Clay. Currently they have over 200 employees who are paid a fair living wage in USD to protect against a fluctuating local currency.
Lifetime Guarantee
Parker Clay stands by their craftsmanship and offers a lifetime guarantee on every single product.
Sustainable materials
Leather is purchased from local, sustainable ranchers in the agricultural land surrounding Addis Ababa.
Center for Excellence
Parker Clay provides skills training, career advancement and financial literacy training to all employees.
Reforestation
200 trees planted with each purchase.
“Nobody is better-positioned to transform Ethiopia than the women who call it home. It's time to let them lead, and with every purchase, you help them light the way.”
