Carol Stevenson, the world-renown elephant whisperer and photographer of Asian elephants, has commissioned a series of handbags with her elephant images. The elephants reside in The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF) conservation center in northern Thailand where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar join. These elephants and their mahout owners and families were brought there from major cities in Thailand where they walked the streets and begged for food.
The objective of the GTAEF is to return domesticated elephants to a natural habitat. At this time, there are some thirty-five elephants in the conservation center. Carol’s bags consist of two different sized makeup bags and a messenger bag.
