We’re taught not to waste—don’t waste your time on people who don’t give you a second of theirs, don’t waste water when you’re doing the dishes, don’t waste your money on most name brands. What about wasting food? When we live in a society with big portions and even bigger trash cans to toss what’s left on our plates, we don’t think enough about what happens because of our food waste. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot that happens and we need to advocate for change. Eliminating Excess Everyday.Zero waste: it’s one of the latest buzzwords in the sustainable society. From zero-waste wardrobes to zero-waste makeup, even to zero-waste weddings, innovators are crafting brilliant new ways to eliminate excess trash in...

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. When we started our brand more than 5 years ago, our sole mission was to give back to people who had no safety net, no social systems to fall back on, and no job opportunities due to no fault of their own. Once shelter-in-place orders began happening in the U.S. this week and our economy began shifting, order volumes declined. Our revenue of product sales is how we provide for people around the world—and without that income stream, there is no opportunity to provide.This is why our leadership team has made the decision to decline a salary, at least for March and April, until we see stabilization in the economy and until it’s possible to resume...

Our brand was founded on the intention to be more than just a company. We sought to become a group of like-minded individuals that would always be on a mission to do good and to share our stories along the way. Such a mission could not be possible without the people behind our products. From our staff to our Curators to our artisans, we are real people who are living day-by-day to make our dreams reality. Meet The Makers.We regularly feature blog posts that highlight our team of Curators who represent our brand. We're excited to also shine the spotlight on our artisans to tell their stories about how their lives are being changed while working for a company that...

In life, there are few things that only have one “right” way of doing them. There’s no one-size-fits-all equation to solve our problems. Typically, scientifically-based activities like building a bridge or constructing a building, per se, follow exact equations and these should most definitely follow the blueprints. However, even bridges and buildings built for a similar purpose can be executed in vastly different methods. This can also be said of advocating for slow fashion. There is no one way to do sustainability “right,” but there are lots of ways to consider how sustainability can work into your lifestyle. When you care about the planet, doing your part is significant no matter how you execute it. So, the question remains: how...
