SASHKA CO. GLASS BEADED BRACELETS SELECTED FOR
87^TH ACADEMY AWARDS GIFT BAGS

Baltimore, MD—Sashka Company Founder and President Christopher A. Knipp announced today that the company’s popular glass beaded bracelets will be included in the luxury gift bags that will be given to the nominees at the 87^th Academy Awards on February 22, 2015. Handmade by women in Nepal, the bracelets will travel 8,000 miles to the Oscar ceremony, where they will be given to the best in the entertainment industry at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

“I am extremely honored to be a part of such a prestigious event,” said Mr. Knipp, “especially for what it could mean to the women with whom we work. The sales of the bracelets enable the women to earn a sustainable income in their villages, often with their children by their sides,” he said. “Research says that when you raise the standard of living for women, the entire village benefits.”

Mr. Knipp emphasized that the women who create the bracelets are true artisans, creating vibrant, beautiful jewelry of all colors and combinations. “Skill, passion, and some of the world's finest glass beads go into each one,” he said. “Sashka bracelets are carefully handmade bead by bead.”
