Olympe the Escape Bag Recycled polycotton Black

With Sarah Barukh, author of 125 et des Milliers, we imagined the Olympe Escape Bag, we create a bag inspired by the Celestins 24-hour bag, which has a double zipped bottom so that a woman who feels in danger and is thinking of fleeing her home can secretly store her 1st necessity items in it.

Here are a few tips on what an escape bag should contain:
-A change of clothes for the woman and her children, hygiene kit, diapers, bottles, milk... In short: enough to feed the children and keep them in their familiar surroundings for at least 3 days;
-Photocopies or scans of the papers you need to travel, go to school and start administrative and childcare procedures more easily;
-Driving license, vehicle papers, insurance;
-CASH (so you don't have to use your credit card, which is easy to trace in the early days);
-A photo or an object that gives strength.

The Olympe bag is discreet and easy to hide in a safe, accessible place: for example, at a trusted person's home, in a car boot, or in a station luggage locker, accessible 24/7.

100% of profits from sales of the Sac Solidaire Olympe will be donated to the Association 125 Et Après.
