A cool wristlet by Speakeasy Works for women, made by women, with a message for everyone.
We featured the Speakeasy Works Equality wristlet as one of our favorite feminist gift ideas all created by women in our recent Holiday Gift Guide. And even though the holidays have passed, we all love it so much we think it makes an amazing gift for yourself to get 2018 started with a little message of empowerment. What's not to love? Buffalo-based artist Michelle's stylish black wristlet can be hand-embroidered with phrases like Equality, Persister, or Actually, I Can -- messages as beautiful as the bag itself. There's also a Feminist AF bag (the NSFW version) and we know a few woke women who'd grab that one first.
