We've gone rogue. 

For good reason, we promise. While up until this point we've sold exclusively jewelry, clothing, and accessories, we now have sustainable bamboo utensil and straw sets.  Why?

1. Because it's time to ditch the plastic.
2. Because we couldn't find a fair trade option ourselves.
3. Because bamboo is a fast-growing, sustainable option.
4. Because our artisan partners have the capacity to make them, and we're all about creating more fair trade jobs for women!

Yup, it's kind of random. But we don't really care. Like every one of our products, it's about creating a better planet for us all.

It's also about time that we announce our program to go carbon neutral (hopefully carbon negative!) as an organization. Earlier this summer, a report was released showing the best locations to plant trees to help erase 100 years of carbon emissions. Turns out, many of the best areas in the world to focus on reforestation are where our artisan partners are located, so we're working hand-in-hand with women around the world to implement tree-planting programs in the communities where we work. Your purchases make this possible!

We're doing our best to be a company that's both good for the planet and good for the people who inhabit it. Thank you for being part of our community <3
