The Karen is our beautifully handcrafted backpack, thoughtfully designed to combine everyday functionality with timeless style. Spacious enough to carry a tablet, book, water bottle, and other daily essentials, it's the perfect companion for work, travel, school, or a day exploring.

Inside, you'll find thoughtfully designed pockets featuring fabrics as unique and beautiful as the exterior, making it easy to keep your belongings organized. For added security, the Karen also includes a discreet back pocket that rests against your body—an ideal place to safely store your cell phone or other valuables while you're on the go.

The Karen holds a special place in the heart of our founder. It was named in honor of a dear friend who faithfully encouraged the creation of a Peace of Thread backpack for many years. As one of our earliest and most passionate supporters, she has been a dedicated advocate for our mission from the very beginning. Naming this design after her is a tribute to her unwavering friendship, encouragement, and commitment to creating opportunities for refugee women through meaningful work.

Beautifully crafted with purpose, the Karen is more than a backpack—it's a celebration of community, perseverance, and the people who help make our mission possible.
