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 February Chapter features 5 new designs or design sets from 3 countries, as we continue celebrating artisanal craftsmanship and world culture through home decor from Guatemala, Haiti, and India this month.
We hope you can feel the hope behind each design in our February chapter, knowing every piece has been crafted by the hands of a woman rising from poverty and trafficking through your sales.

This work helps me realize my dreams, because I can save some of the money I make here to help with opening my restaurant.

But these women are utilizing their traditional skills to create beautiful products that reflect their culture and empower them to provide for their families at home. As Artisans and business owners, women in rural villages are now able to feed, clothe, and pay for their children to go to school – opening doors to a brighter future for the next generation in Guatemala!
Meet the Artisan: Clara’s Story of Hope 
“Here in Guatemala it is sometimes difficult for women to get jobs because they have children which employers find burdensome. And so, for this reason, women often struggle to secure employment. Sometimes these women will come to us and ask for jobs when there is work available. But sometimes, the workload is low, and we would like to help them by giving them jobs, but we cannot when production is low.
I’d like to thank everyone who buys our products, and may God bless you because you are a big help to us – Those who sell and those who buy. It really helps us a lot because if they buy products then we are able to help other people.”
