Giving back
As the initiator and one of the co-founders of the association Female Founders for Fashion, we want to contribute to enable women entrepreneurs in the fashion industry to become even better women entrepreneurs. By joining forces, we aim to support, inspire, share and learn from one another, and to be part of this growing #womensupportingwomen initiative to foster successful and thriving businesses in the fashion industry.
We often speak about learning to settle with less, but investing in higher quality. Some people do not get that chance at all. We believe in generosity and giving back. In partnership with one of our retailers in New York, we support the charity Housing Works in Manhattan, an organisation who helps homeless people with HIV/AIDS, to whose activities we donate 10 percent of our total sales in collaboration with our retailer.
We’ve also partnered with Plantmore.com for climate! Planting trees for our future, acting locally to impact globally.
We climate compensate all our internbational shipping through DHL Go Green.
An on-going journey
