TOMS, known for its one for one business model, has added bags to its inventory of shoes and glasses. For every bag purchased, TOMS will help provide a safe birth kit to women in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Haiti and India. The kit contains soap, gloves, gauze, a cord clamp, surgical blade and a clean surface to help a woman safely give birth. In Canada, seven bags are presently available online and in select retailers, all women’s styles, five totes ($86, $108, $208) and two drawstring ($86). In the U.S., additional styles for women and men include duffle, backpack, crossbody, even tablet cases, wallets and pencil cases, ranging in price from $28 to $248.  — Karen Bliss
