SPRING

Dear friends, We all know Spring is a season of new beginnings – we wait with anticipation to swing open the windows and feel a warm breeze, watch the leaves unfurl and flowers bloom. At One Mango Tree we’re experiencing our own kind of Spring season, unfurling all sorts of beautiful new products and improving the way we do business with our artisans. Our Spring 2012 collection brings new artisans into the mix, weaving hand-dyed and hand-loomed fabrics into our palette, and adding leather and horn accents. We have a brand new jewelry collection, and our apparel gets fresh life with a mix of new shapes and fabrics. Our artisans in Northern Uganda (shown on our cover) are starting the season afresh as well – working at home in their villages for the very first time. This Christmas we gifted sewing machines to our Gulu tailors and started a work-from-home system, whereby the ladies meet weekly to pick up work assignments and plan their own work schedules. This shift makes time for gardening and being with their families – an exciting step forward in making life better for our artisans. In Kampala, we’re setting a new standard for ethical apparel manufacturing, where we pay more than double the regular factory wages to our machine operators (opposite page, bottom). We look forward to teaching our customers more this season about how their clothes are made, helping them to connect to the people behind the products. Thank you for joining us in the journey! Peace,
Halle
