We believe that even a small investment in women and their creativity can bring about big changes. That's why we started PeaceQuilts in Haiti almost twenty years ago!
PeaceQuilts, a 501(c)(3) economic development project, provides equipment, supplies, training, educational opportunities, and other support to help Haitian women establish small independent sewing cooperative businesses so they can earn a living wage - to feed their families, improve housing and educate their children. Find out how you can get involved by clicking on 'How You Can Help' in the menu bar at the top of the page!
Each purchase in our online store helps support member-owned sewing cooperatives where women create beautiful, artisan-made products, as well as striking one-of-a-kind original folk art quilts - all inspired by Haiti's rich artistic and cultural heritage.
PeaceQuilts stands behind our products. We want you to feel confident with your decision to buy on our site, especially a handmade folk art quilt, so try it out for 60 days. If you don't love it, send it back and we'll happily refund your purchase, including the return shipping!
Love the feel and the look and the quality work of this bag! Beyond my expectations!

I ordered the beach bag and was pleasantly surprised to find it on my doorstep within a few days. I LOVE the colors that were used and how nice and roomy it is, as well as the size of the inside pockets...I will be back to shop again!

I got the oven mitt, a beautiful bracelet, and a shoulder bag for my grandmother for Christmas. She loved all of them!

What does handmade mean?
Building Communities
PeaceQuilts' philosophy means investing in the development of women-owned businesses that become self-managed and self-sustaining. That strengthens families and communities, building better lives through art.
