Fast fashion disempowers women. With fast fashion you trap a generation of young women into poverty. 75 million people are making our clothes today. 80% is made by women who are only 18 – 24 years old. It takes a garment worker 18 months to earn what a fashion brand CEO makes on their lunch break. A majority of them earn less than $3 per day. The biggest corners fast fashion cuts are human. Cheap clothes are made by underage workers entering the industry as young as 14 to work long hard hours (an avg. of 14 hrs per day in sweatshops) for low wages, while dealing with sexual harassment.

Ethical fashion is about designing and manufacturing clothes in a way that cares for people and communities while minimising the impact on the environment.

Through sourcing ethical products, it allows our artisans to take care of their families and empower their community.

Every item in our boutique is hand-made, designed, or curated by a survivor or woman led business. 100% of our sales go towards fighting against trafficking!

Fair trade, defined simply, is when products are sourced through a fair supply chain, where small-scale farmers, producers and artisans are treated with dignity, respect, equality and fairness. Fair trade means putting people before products.

We make decisions with our money EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Every financial decision we make impacts people around the world. We GET to choose to let our purchasing choices EMPOWER others. That is why fair trade, slow, & ethical fashion is so important to us. When you shop with us, you’re enabling us to hire vendors that pay their workers a proper living wage and ensure safe working conditions. Fair wages allow the artisans to provide for their families and help their communities thrive, this helps reduce the chance of trafficking by helping eliminate vulnerabilities.

EVERY sale goes to help survivors of trafficking in their journey through restoration and freedom!
