Fire Opal has been named one of 25 top retailers in North America, for 2009. The Niche awards program recognizes craft retailers who are committed to fair business practices and to growing and strengthening the American handmade craft community.

They are donating a beautiful and roomy gold/teal tote canvas bag by Emmaclare with a decorative Mother of Pearl button and loop fastner.

The exterior fabric is 60% poly, 40% cotton.  The lining is 100% cotton.  The new owner is advised to clean the bag using a damp cloth and cool water.  The double handle straps measure 19 inches, making it possible to wear over one shoulder. 

Fire Opal has two shops at 683 Centre Street in Jamaica Plain and 320 Harvard Steet in Brookline.  www.fire-opal.com
