Hi everyone, I just thought to introduce myself to everyone at EFF and maybe ramble a bit. I'm Honey Wong, I just started my first business using my talent for sewing called Honey Handbags or <a href="http://honeyhandbags.com">honeyhandbags.com</a>. I'm not trained in fashion like most of you. I was taught to sew by my mother who worked in textile mills until she graduated and became an English teacher.

Hi everyone, I just thought to introduce myself to everyone at EFF and maybe ramble a bit. I'm Honey Wong, I just started my first business using my talent for sewing called Honey Handbags or <a href="http://honeyhandbags.com">honeyhandbags.com</a>. I'm not trained in fashion like most of you. I was taught to sew by my mother who worked in textile mills until she graduated and became an English teacher. Presently I am studying to be a make-up artist in my home country of Formosa or Taiwan to the uninitiated.<br/>
<br/>
I'm probably one of very few in my country that has even begun to use ethical practices within fashion. Eco awareness is a little slow in Taiwan, Taiwan sadly is country that doesn't regulate businesses and corporations very often. Most of my governments legislation is aimed at economic growth. I guess you could say all of our legislation is aimed at the economy while our livelihoods are reduced to nothing. <br/>
<br/>
One of the issues that I feel strongly about is the gentrification of Taiwanese aboriginals. I've decided to take the issue head on! I'm formulating a plan of direct action to help the tribes of Formosa. I will help support this plan with a percentage of the sales of my handbags.<br/>
<br/>
There aren't many charities or groups to help the ancient tribes of Formosa, so it may take a while to put a plan together. You can read more about the slow death of my people <a href="http://honeyhandbags.com/honeysblog.cfm?feature=1295780&postid=216479">here</a>. <br/><br/>So far the plan is to take weekend trips to video, photograph and interview the ancients of my island and then share what I learn with as many people as possible on <a href="http://honeyhandbags.com">my website</a>. <br/>
<br/>
If you think you might be able to help with this plan or your just interested please <a href="http://honeyhandbags.com/contactme.cfm">contact me</a>. I need all the help I can get! :) <br/><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://static.ning.com/socialnetworkmain/widgets/video/flvplayer/flvplayer.swf?v=201004051300" flashvars="config=http%3A%2F%2Fethicalfashionforum.ning.com%2Fvideo%2Fvideo%2FshowPlayerConfig%3Fid%3D2622461%253AVideo%253A41966%26ck%3D-&video_smoothing=on&autoplay=off&isEmbedCode=1" width="456" height="306" bgcolor="#000000" scale="noscale" allowscriptaccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

I make everything by hand so I will probably limit myself to four bags each season for now. I think I may have acted to soon in naming my website now because of all the inspirational people here on the EFF network. So who knows, I may start my own line of garments sometime soon as well. I'm interested in graphic design so I might make a series of T-shirts? <br/><br/>I am excited to meet everyone and maybe working with you all. Feel free to get in touch if you have any ideas of how we may work together. <br/><br/>I guess that's all for now.
