It’s time for the FOURTH 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 April Chapter features 8 new designs or design options (and one set!) from 2 countries, as we continue celebrating artisanal craftsmanship and world culture through home decor from India and the U.S. this month, as well as two designs featuring Gifts of Hope givebacks to help fight hunger.
We hope you can feel the hope behind each design in our April chapter, knowing every piece has been crafted by the hands of a woman rising from poverty and trafficking through your sales.
