Friday vibes! ✌🏾😎
From the hands of the women of 117 to wherever your next adventure takes you. ✈️🀎
One of the things we love most at Carry 117 is finding ways for the women of 117 to give back.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to partner with our friends at @hopeforkorah for their annual International Women’s Day blood drive in Addis Ababa.
Meet the bag that goes everywhere.

The Whiskey Peace Tote
• full-grain leather
• handcrafted in Ethiopia
• built to last for years

And every purchase helps create sustainable work for our artisan partners.

Simple. Beautiful. Purpose
FULL. ✈️🌍

Our 117 Trip team filled before applications even closed.

Seventeen humans.
One team.
Headed to Ethiopia together in 306ish sleeps.

We’re already counting down to the coffee ceremonies, the laughter, the learning, the partnerships
