women led

Our objective is simple - support women! For us, supporting women comes in a variety of ways and we wanted to highlight some of our personal objectives below.

Objectives:

• Support businesses led by women and use our buying power to purchase from women led businesses!

• So much of the fashion supply chain and our garments are made by women. We want to stand up for their rights and help elevate them into leadership roles.

• Stand up for women's rights by supporting nonprofits and organizations that help support women, fight for their rights and advance their interests here and abroad.

• Highlight amazing women doing awesome things.

• Our biggest fabric supplier and sewing company, Five P Venture is headed by the fabulous women, Shree (CEO) and Carrie (CSO).

• Both knitwear suppliers in Peru are run by women. The first is Niko International, founded and run by amazing women, Nina.

• Our newest knitwear suppllier Harkend was founded and currently run by two fantastic women duo of Kelly and Ellen

• For all garments made by Niko, the amazing self-emolyed Elizabeth makes all our labels.

• We also donate on a yearly basis to Planned Parenthood, UltraViolet, Women for Women International and Centro Legal.

• Donated 1% of our sales (not profits) to READ. READ has a few different initiatives. One is to educate/train rural women in India for different jobs in the apparel industry (sewing, pattern making, cutting, etc.). This initiative also supports career advancement.

• Donated 1% of all our sales to Navdanya. Navdanya is a seed bank located in Dehradun, India. It was founded by Dr. Vandana Shiva and her nonprofit supports roughly 650,000 farmers throughout India by promoting and educating organic farming practices. Navdanya also has their own eco-feminism pledge!
