FYI – you may recall us introducing this box in our Summer CAUSEBOX review – check it out!

What you plant is what you harvest.

The items came in individual bags to avoid damage during transit.

Everything is individually packed, except for the keychain.

Here’s a short message from Haiti Design Co.

Can you believe it’s Winter 2017 already?

This card gives a brief background about HDC and how your purchases help support their cause.

There are also cards that introduce the featured artisans in this season’s box.

The back contains the artisan’s story and products.

Everything in the Winter 2017 box!

Leather Makers Box Keychain. I like the engraved design on this leather keychain! It can be used to hold keys or an addition to any bag or pouch.

Heart Metal Ornament. This metal ornament has a rustic and vintage feel to it.

It has a flower on top of the main heart design.

It is silver in color so it can actually be an addition to the Holiday tree…

…but it also looked good alone when we put it on an ornament stand.

Great detail!

Tassel Ornament. Next up is a red tassel, held together by a silver colored metal. Tassels are fun embellishments that don’t really go out of style.

This tassel will add a boho vibe to my bag, but I think it can also be hung anywhere in the home that needs an extra pop of color – perfect for Christmas!

We tried putting it on an ornament stand and it’s looking great!

Its festive red color is just perfect for the season!

Lalin Necklace. Simple yet stunning pieces like this one are definitely my style. It’s a handmade using recycled oil drum, vegetable tanned leather fringe, and an antique brass chain.

The pendant is soft and the colors are neutral so it will actually look good on any outfit.

Like the tassel, this is also a great accessory for a boho look. I think I will wear this with a flowy top or dress.

It comes with an adjustable chain and lobster claw lock, and is 36″ long.

Haiti Design Co Tassel Earrings. This will go well with the necklace!

The pair of mid-length hooked earrings featured fine tassels held together by a silver colored metal and a brass chain. It looks so fabulous when worn!

Leather Arc Bracelet and Traveler’s Necklace. Last but not the least is a set of accessories made with leather bits.

The brown leather bracelet measures 6.5″ and is supported by a gold colored arc.

Meanwhile, the traveler’s necklace is accentuated with some leather bits together with tiny white beads.

The brown leather bits are versatile and they make great accents for the accessories. Both look perfect together but can also be worn individually.

The contents of this Winter box are great and almost everything’s made of leather! They make a simple organic but modern statement and I love how everything is curated together for a great look for yourself and for your home. It’s amazing knowing that artisans put their heart and soul into making these pieces. I also like their mantra, “many hands make the load light.” Kudos to the Haitian artisans!
