HOW IT’S MADE MATTERS 31 BITS IS INTERRUPTING THIS FAST-PACED CULTURE OF MASS-PRODUCED FASHION BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT MATTERS HOW PRODUCTS ARE MADE. OUR ACCESSORIES ARE CAREFULLY CRAFTED BY HAND. EVERY DETAIL WAS THOUGHT THROUGH AND EVERY PIECE TELLS A STORY BECAUSE IT WAS MADE BY A REAL PERSON.

IF YOU KNOW 31 BITS, YOU KNOW BY NOW OUR STYLE COMBINES SHADES OF MODERNITY, WILD SOPHISTICATION, REFINED DETAILS, AND EFFORTLESS STYLE. BUT ABOVE ALL, YOU KNOW OUR PRODUCTS ARE CREATED WITH UNCOMPROMISED DEDICATION TO CARING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THEM. ALL OF OUR JEWELRY IS HANDMADE BY ARTISANS IN UGANDA WHO ARE USING THEIR ARTISTIC SKILL OF CREATING BEADS FROM PAPER. IT’S A WILDLY INTRICATE PROCESS THAT RESULTS IN COLORFUL MASTERPIECES. WE WISH YOU COULD HEAR THE ERUPTION OF LAUGHTER AND CONVERSATIONS THAT TAKE PLACE DURING THE MAKING OF THIS JEWELRY. FRIENDSHIPS ARE FORMED, WOUNDS ARE HEALED, AND HOPE IS GIVEN. 31 BITS GOES BEYOND LOVELY DESIGN AND MASTERFUL INNOVATION, IT’S BRINGING PEOPLE IN UGANDA OUT OF POVERTY AND PROVIDING THEM WITH THE EDUCATION AND RESOURCES THEY NEED FOR A FLOURISHING FUTURE.

Oyella Kevin OF ALL THE WOMEN WE WORK WITH IN UGANDA, IT’S KEVIN WHO WE KNOW WILL LIGHT UP OUR HEADQUARTERS WITH HER SMILE, LAUGHTER, AND DANCING. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WE’VE SEEN KEVIN GROW INTO AN AMAZING LEADER. SHE’S CONSTANTLY ENCOURAGING AND HELPING THE OTHER WOMEN AT 31 BITS. KEVIN USED HER INCOME TO HELP PUT HER HUSBAND THROUGH UNIVERSITY SO THEY CAN BOTH CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY. WHEN SHE GRADUATES FROM OUR PROGRAM, SHE PLANS ON WORKING WITH LOCAL FARMERS TO SELL PRODUCE AND OTHER SUPPLIES IN HER COMMUNITY.

Okello Sidonia SIDONIA IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST WOMEN WE KNOW. WHILE PREGNANT WITH HER FOURTH CHILD, HER HUSBAND PASSED AWAY. AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR, SHE WAS BARELY GETTING BY. WE RECRUITED HER TO BE PART OF 31 BITS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE GOTTEN TO SEE HER LIFE TRANSFORM. ALL FOUR OF HER CHILDREN ARE IN SCHOOL AND SHE IS BUILDING A HOUSE. AS ONE OF THE OLDER WOMEN IN OUR GROUP, SIDONIA LOOKS AFTER THE OTHERS, USING HER STORY TO MENTOR THEM THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES. SHE IS AN INCREDIBLY HARD WORKER AND LOVES TAKING ON CHALLENGING NEW DESIGNS.
