Second Line: a piece of New Orleans history

frames.jpg
These are no ordinary frames: made from the debris left behind in the wake of hurricane Katrina, they symbolise new beginnings and hope. The name comes from the "Second Line" - a timeless New Orleans tradition. It's the colorful parade that follows a funeral procession to turn tragedy into a celebration of rebirth.

Each time you buy a Second Line frame, ten per cent of the proceeds go to the Katrina Foundation for Recovery, which is still working tirelessly to help victims of the hurricane. Frames are priced at $55 and upwards on Etsy.
