K.I.L.U.S. Foundation

As part of a birthday gift to one of my friends I got her a handcrafted and recycled coin pouch made from juice boxes. I got it from Barnes & Noble but the original maker is the K.I.L.U.S. Foundation. I've searched online for a website however, their website has closed down. The website is supposed to be http://www.kilus.org/. The foundation has pencil cases, accessories bags, coin pouches and shopping bags at Barnes & Noble but I've read that they produce a wide variety of things like dresses sandals and hats.
On the tags of each item the purpose of the foundation is written. The tag reads, "The K.I.L.U.S. Foundation is a Fair Trade women's cooperative in the Philippines that recycles and handcrafts non-biodegradable items, like juice boxes, into fun and fashionable accessories".

I think they have very pretty stuff. For example, I loved one of their pencil cases which was made from recycled newspaper, I should have taken a picture :(. Maybe I'll get it for myself in the near future and share its picture then :).
