THE CARIBBEAN BUSINESS REPORT
THE LIBERATORS — A travel bag inspired by Haitian women
Making travel and Haiti
her business over the past 10
years, Guerline T. Emmanuel
understands the need for utility
in a travel bag. When she
could not find one that suited
her needs she created one.
After five years of research and
multiple prototypes, THE LIBERATORS
travel bag became
available for sale on Nov. 18,
last year on the anniversary
of the Battle of Vertières. Significant,
as it is the battle that
won Haiti its independence.
Speaking about the launch
of the product Emmanuel
said, “I am grateful, humbled,
and empowered. This is more
than a product it is a piece of
history.”
The bag is available in medium
and large sizes and retails
for $100 - $120. The bag is
available for pre-order now at
$60-$80 respectively. Available
to purchase at https://

THE LIBERATORS was
inspired by the Spirits of
Great Haitian Liberators for
the Modern Day Women Trailblazers.
Emmanuel wants to
celebrate these women and
ensure their names are known
amongst the men.
Featured female liberators
include:
Anacaona - Was a Taíno
Cacique (Queen) of the original
habitants of the island.
She was born into one of the
five kingdoms of Hayti*. She
lead and organized numerous
battles against the Spanish
invaders.
Agbaraya Tòya - General
in the then King army of
Dahomey captured to Saint-
Domingue(Hispaniola) and
teacher of Yoruba language,
