Women’s empowerment & our mission “Fair trade is as much about humanity as it is equality.” We believe we all have the power to influence social change. For us that means fashion that has been created consciously. Women make up the majority of the workforce in the textile industries of developing nations, facing huge challenges such as gender, caste and social inequality. We work only with innovative social businesses who have a strong sense of integrity and transparency in their fair trade practices, women’s empowerment programmes and environmental impact. Each and every product we carry is handmade by artisans empowered by a fair and sustainable income. We are passionate about age-old handcraft techniques around the world and therefore seek to promote the artisans and their cultures. Our brands use products that are sustainable, responsibly sourced, don’t use chemical dyes and are recycled. This has less impact on people and the planet.
