Jeremy and Susannah, the co-founders and designers behind Cement6, met while building a house in Haiti during college.

While in Southeast Asia, Susannah saw heaps of discarded cement and farming bags cluttering streets. She later met a talented woman at the night market who was transforming this trash into unique tote bags. An idea was born.

Working with artisans in Cambodia, CEMENT6 creates a sustainable, quality product while paying a living wage to over 40 men and women in Phnom Penh. This Nashville-based company also partners with groups that help the poor with basic necessities and teach orphaned youths the skills needed to lead independent, self-sufficient lives.
