How did we get into purses? I'm not positive but I'll bet a hundred bucks the story goes like this.
Next door to the Tshirt man's shop is the Purse man's shop. The Purse man sees Pala coming out of the Tshirt man's shop carrying a load of Tshirts. He jumps out and grabs Pala. Here's his pitch.
Pala, I see you have bought some Tshirts to help the poor starving damai who do the embroidery on the shirts. This is a kind, generous wonderful thing you have done. But take a look at my own damai. They sit here with nothing to do. The tourists have stopped coming as you know very well. And, my damai are worse off than the Tshirt man's. They are all widows and unwed mothers with childred to feed and they are making nothing. The children are hungry and the poor women cannot pay their rent. Here, take a few purses and build your dharma. Just these few will help feed the starving. You are a Buddhist and it is your duty to buy a few. Here. Take these. I'll bring them to your home and help you pack them. Please, for the love of God, take them.
So, here they are.
They are pretty and uniqure, well crafted. They range in price from $20 to $30. Tell me which one you like and I'll send it.
I should be selling khukuris but we have our dharma and volunteer service to do.
It should help the wife to approve a couple of khukuris if you get her a one of a kind purse from Nepal.
Call or email and maybe the damai will pray for you, too.
