SUMMER 2020
HUNTING FOR MIRACLES So many of us entered 2020 with the hope and optimism for expanded clarity and vision to take on our biggest obstacles and conquer our ambitious goals. But this year has left us in circumstances we couldn’t have predicted and facing a set of challenges that are unprecedented. But sister, now is not the time to back away from having vision. In fact, it’s more important than ever. Reclaiming 20/20 Vision While the definitions and the way we execute things might have shifted, we’re capable of flexibility because we know that when we bend, we keep from breaking. Maybe the clarity we needed in this year is more about looking for the treasure in plain sight. Maybe it’s less about what we’ve lost and more about what’s been in front of us all along. We call this hunting for miracles. It’s making a conscious choice to look for the wonder, opening our eyes and hearts to the miraculous around us. Summer 2020 Collection This collection is the perfect expression of reclaiming our vision. Our minimalist floral design “Hide & Seek” is a celebration of the hidden gems in our midst every day. (If you look with curious eyes you’ll be able to see a peaceful, mischievous face peeking through the foliage!) With our solid apparel, we’re taking after the Tiger Lily who unapologetically struts her audacious spots on her bright can’t-miss-em petals as a celebration of our own courage, pride, and boldness--even in the midst of uncertainty Our pom-pom clutch is handwoven and will add joy to every outfit while our neutral jute tote is as eco-friendly as it is summer-chic. And in these times when everything seems to be changing so rapidly, we find it comforting to go back to our foundations -- the things that remain true even during times of uncertainty. Over ten years ago, we started dreaming under a mango tree in Uganda about a company that would create community and opportunity for women across the globe. So this summer, we’re celebrating our foundation in Uganda with a paper bead jewelry collection. We’ve reimagined and elevated this classic Ugandan craft to add a delicate and unique flair to your summer wardrobe. As you continue about your days, we hope this collection reminds you to look for the miracles and to be fearlessly, boldly, and unapologetically YOU.
