Lazarus Artisan Goods

Lazarus Artisan Goods is a company that creates and sells high-quality, handcrafted leather products with a powerful social mission. They are based in Nashville, Tennessee, but their products are made in Honduras and Haiti.

Their core mission is to empower individuals and communities by providing vocational training and employment opportunities with fair, living wages.
