Global Holiday Party in Laguna Beach

Buy Hand and The Peace Exchange are holding a global holiday party during the Laguna Beach First Thursdays Art Walk on Thursday, Dec. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the end of 2017. The two organizations, fueled by their passion to help disadvantaged people around the world, invite you to celebrate with them while shopping for a cause.

The Peace Exchange is a registered local non-profit organization founded in Laguna Beach. The organization works to promote fair trade by supporting ‘at-risk’ groups around the world. Through establishing fair trade cooperatives, The Peace Exchange has provided artisans in the Democratic Republic of Congo a sense of livelihood. The Peace Exchange is expanding their efforts in 2018 and will use proceeds from the event to help expand into Bolivia and/or Nepal.  

Buy Hand specializes in American handmade gifts and jewelry. Earlier this year, the local retailer expanded its line to include a global fair trade collection that showcases vibrant colors and treasured craftsmanship from around the world.

Buy Hand is at 1175 S. Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.
