It’s time for the FIFTH Chapter of our 2024 Lookbook!
Each month’s designs will continue forward to carry you through a year of blossoming hope with looks to wear + share or beautify your home!
We boldly sojourn into 2024 armed with purpose and hopefulness.
By using Fashion as a Force for Good, we design pieces that resemble runway trends reimagined through the lens of artisanal style, to combine our passion for fashion with compassion for people as each ongoing chapter is carefully curated. Various new designs are introduced each month that build upon the last, making it effortless for anyone to confidently coordinate products from one chapter to the next. Together, through harmonious designs that coordinate seamlessly, we can maximize the impacts made for women around the world!
When you shop your favorite pieces in the collection, you are standing with women around the world who are leading their families out of poverty and human trafficking. Who knew that on-trend accessories could be such a powerful force for good in the world?!
Last year brought us new changes to our annual lookbook!
In 2023, we changed up our format from releasing seasonal lookbooks to build an ongoing, cohesive lookbook over the course of the full year, with new “Chapters” added on the 2nd of each month. The new cadence of these continual monthly chapters was something our Partners, your customers, and the Artisans we partner with enjoyed as it created more ongoing sustainability.
Each chapter will feature approximately 10 new ethically made, fair trade designs to continue throughout 2024.
This May Chapter features 8 new designs or design options from 2 countries, as we continue celebrating artisanal craftsmanship and world culture through home decor from East Asia and India this month.
We hope you can feel the hope behind each design in our May chapter, knowing every piece has been crafted by the hands of a woman rising from poverty and trafficking through your sales.

Meet the Artisan: Rafiqan’s Story of Hope
“Since becoming an artisan, a lot of stability has come in my life. It gives us strength, and we can now plan our coming months and not live day to day. The regular work and income has made it easy for me to send my kids to school. I dream my kids can go to college and finish their higher studies without any hiccups.”
Rafiqan lives near Jaipur, a city renowned for its legendary artisanal workshops. Extreme poverty in many of the surrounding villages often results in the exploitation of vulnerable Artisans – especially women – in sweatshops with unsafe workspaces, unreasonable hours, and unfair wages.
Committed to empowering Artisans, this workshop trained Rafiqan in the art of leather crafting. She began as a materials cutter and can now make an entire bag – from start to finish – by herself! Now Rafiqan is able to earn a living wage in a safe clean workspace.

Meet the Artisan: Shan’s Story of Hope 
When Shan came into the office, our Outreach Director almost melted into tears. She remembered Shan. Shan was in a dark brothel in a village on the verge of being torn down when they met. Shan lit up on that first visit as our Outreach Team Director, with her new baby greeted her. Shan, a mom too, doted on the baby’s chubby little legs. After a few months of visits, Shan was simply gone. The Outreach Team thought they’d never see her again. Yet three and a half years later, she came!
We received a call from Shan who said she knew someone in our office. She shared that her contact was an American with dark hair who had a small baby boy. It could only have been our Outreach Director, although her son was already 4 years old by then. She shared that she had recently returned to our city and was hoping that the offer of a safe job at Starfish Project was still available.
Shan shared her story – from compounded childhood trauma, being sold into a marriage as a teenager to being sent to work in brothels. She left our city years ago to escape an abusive relationship yet on that day, she was back and ready to begin again. The seeds of hope have taken root and she is flourishing.
