Press Release Body = CHANDLER, Ariz. - Aphinya Deley, a business woman who founded Attapinya Designs, subscribes to the standards established by the fair trade principle for treatment of workers, and care for the environment. Fair trade is the growing approach to international trade that treats workers and the environment with the respect. The company offers a variety of yoga mat bags of all sizes as well as jewelry at a new web site, http://www.Attapinya.com. Handcrafted by Thai artisans, the yoga bags are made of vibrant silks, using intricate patterns and detailing. "We want our yoga bags to help express the unique character of the individuals who use them," explained Deley. "But we also say "no" to the international sweatshops, and say "yes" to fair trade. Deley believes strongly in the fair trade principles for conducting business. As a result, the company's artisans receive a living wage, which covers all the basic necessities of living in t he country of origin, and the work in a safe environment. "We go to extraordinary efforts to insure that the products you purchases from Attapinya Designs did not cause harm to any person or to the environment," said Deley. The yoga bags, made in three sizes, are designed to carry yoga mats and other personal items. Each bag features a striking appearance, complemented with gorgeous silk and Thai patterns in varied textures and styles. The bags are carried easily over one shoulder. The jewelry offered is also intricately designed. Each necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings, or pendant glows with a unique beauty that reflects the yoga culture of balance and symmetry. "My hope is that everybody who owns Attapinya Designs yoga bags or jewelry will be rewarded with the heartfelt appreciation for the value and quality of our creations," said Deley.
