Our dream clothing line would:
1. one that feels great on our bodies while complimenting them.
2. have a price tag that wouldn't force us to eat spaghetti for the rest of the month.
3. do good for others. after all, what goes around comes around.
Lucky for us, we found all this when we purchased these vibrant (they acheived this color with vegetable dye - a great environment saver!) garments handwoven in India.
Not only are the clothes absolutely darling and oh-so-flattering, everything you see is under $100!
What's best, they are made by women's cooperatives that pay employees a living wage while provide a safe and fair working environment. This in turn allows women to empower themselves and their children by providing them with an education instead of forcing them into child labor. Yay!
Feel good cause the dress looks great on you. Feel even better knowing you helped a family in India do better for themselves.
You should know that none of these prints are done by machine - this line preserves the art of hand block print methods done by hand. They are proud that their clothes contain a history and a level of artisanship that is being lost in today's world of mass production.We think that is just lovely - just like the dress.
