Most people are familiar with TOMS shoes. For every pair of shoes purchased, the company sends a pair to someone in need through the One for One program. Currently, TOMS has donated more than 60 million shoes to children in need. TOMS expanded its One for One program and overall products, adding sunglasses, coffee and bags to its brand.

 

TOMS sells bags for men and women and backpacks for children. A variety of backpacks and tote bags are available in canvas, leather and suede options, with multiple colors available. The durable, spacious bags are both practical and stylish for travel. Pricing starts at $48 for tote bags and ranges up through $158 for a leather tote bag. Shipping is free on orders more than $60 and returns are free.

 

Following the original model, for every bag purchased, TOMS works with organizations providing training for birth attendants and distributes birth kits with items to safely deliver a baby. As of this year, TOMS has supported safe birth services for more than 25,000 mothers around the world. Read more about how the company helps others on the website.
