Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Laga handbags have always been more than a fashion statement. The beautiful, one of a kind handbags are custom made by women who survived the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia. Countless lives were destroyed after the terrible disaster. Roy and Louise van Broekhuizen founded Laga Designs International in order to give survivors a chance to rebuild their lives and support their families. Laga is proud to offer fashion handbags that are not only unique but also give hope to those in need.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This month, you can buy a Laga handbag to help tsunami survivors support their families as well as support breast cancer awareness and research efforts. Roy van Broekhuizen has lost two sisters to breast cancer and feels very strongly for the cause. Although many people know someone who has died from breast cancer, losing two members of one’s immediate family is especially heartbreaking. Carrying around a pink handbag is a great way to show your support for those affected by breast cancer. Laga has many functional yet fashionable handbags featuring pink designs. Many businesses show their support this month by selling pink items and donating a portion of the profits to breast cancer treatment and research. During October, Laga is offering a collection of specially priced handbags in pink. Ten percent of your purchase will go towards fighting breast cancer in America. This funding helps to ensure quality care for breast cancer survivors as well as fund research into finding a cure.

One of Laga’s featured items this month is the pink Pulih handbag. Pulih means “recover” in Indonesian. This handbag is a great choice if you are looking for a smaller handbag that is perfect for either daytime or evening. The bag is beautifully embroidered and has a double-zippered closure. The bag is normally sold for $49 but is on sale during October for $39. The Pulih handbag is just one of many featured pink bags on sale this month at www.laga-handbags.com/handbags-in-pink.html.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded in 1985. The main focus of the month-long event was to promote mammograms as the best way to fight breast cancer in its earliest stages. In addition, there are many lifestyle choices a person can make to decrease the chance that they will get breast cancer. For example, eating lots of green vegetables as well as a low fat diet have been shown in studies to decrease the chances of getting breast cancer. Today, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is recognized around the world. Fundraisers and events held during October raise millions for breast cancer research and prevention. You can join the fight today and make a difference simply by carrying a pink handbag!
