Abdoulie Barry, a 37-year-old from Gambia whose asylum claim was rejected, working at Vaude in Tettnang, Germany. Barry has appealed his rejection.

The totes became so successful that last year they were integrated into Vaude’s production line, and Noura Baterdouk, a 38-year-old mother of three who fled to Germany with her family, was hired full time to sew them.
