Travel culture is currently at an all-time high. As free-spirited Americans, we dream big and seek bigger landscapes than the ones found at our back door. Our concern and curiosity about the environment is sending more and more citizens on planes and less of them to the mall, saving hard-earned cash in a tough economy for travel, experiences, and products we believe in. As a fair trade, eco-friendly company deeply invested in the lives of our artisans, it is this spirit of global awareness and love for other cultures that drives us. But what does it mean to be “eco-friendly” and have “global impact”? For something to be eco-friendly means for it to be good for the earth and good...
Adopting a zero-waste lifestyle can bring a big shift in most households. But, like anything else, making small steps to your larger goal can be a great start.The US population represents only about 5% of the world as a whole, but we create about 30% of the world’s waste. This builds up in the nearly two thousand landfills across our country. Our disposable society has made generating garbage quite easy. Think about the plastic water bottles, paper cups, napkins, plastic utensils, food packaging you use in a day. Then multiply that by everyone in your family - it adds up quickly.A completely zero waste lifestyle may not be realistic, but think about the ways you can start cutting down on...

Each Fair Trade garment is hand cut, sewn, and dyed by women in Indonesia and every purchase provides these women with fair wages and life changing opportunities.This week, we launched the latest, exciting addition to our line - the Open Shoulder Top!Cold (or open) shoulders were one of the biggest clothing trends of this past year, and our take on this popular style transforms into over a dozen different articles of clothing and comfortably fits every body, size XS-3XL. As we head into the transitional months that follow winter, it can be difficult to find outfits that work with the unpredictable weather and in-between fashion needs that precede...
It’s mid January, and it’s about that time that we begin to evaluate our New Year’s Resolutions. Right about now we are finding that they were either totally unrealistic... or empowering! Either way, keeping up with resolutions the entire year is difficult - especially when it comes to fitness and weight loss (historically, the #1 New Years Resolution). Maybe you’re already feeling like that diet or the goal of going to gym everyday is unrealistic, and maybe unfulfilling. Maybe you’re already discouraged, and over it. Maybe in 2019, we should be seeking over-all better health, instead of just better bodies. Having a truly healthy body requires having a healthy self-image. Between social media, influencers, ad campaigns, and a multitude of...
