Spotlight on Style – Ethical and Sustainable Finds at MadeFAIR

September 18, 2016

Founded by Cambodia-living US expat Tavie Meler on the principle that compassion should be extended to each individual throughout the supply chain, MadeFAIR is a for-profit online retailer that invests in people.  After working in non-profit in the United States and noticing that multiple organizations were always competing for the same limited resources, Tavie realized she could make a greater contribution to society by starting her own company offering ethical choices to those in search of sustainable, fashionable options.

MadeFAIR’s online retail platform is full of unique hand-picked clothing, accessories, and home finds that Tavie selects based on a strict set of ethical principles.  In an effort to make less of an environmental impact, many of MadeFAIR’s products are produced from factory waste that would otherwise end up in landfills or be burned.  You can rest assured that each offering you find at MadeFAIR was created by somebody earning a living wage and working under safe conditions.

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop for ethically made, sustainable products look no further. MadeFAIR has you covered.

Spotlight on Style – Transitional Pieces from Monsoon

August 14, 2016

Monsoon, a UK based company, was founded in 1972 by Peter Simon after he returned from a lengthy road trip around Asia.  With an original concept of sourcing clothes from India and the Far East, the company focused on merging modern design with traditional materials and techniques.

Monsoon’s initial offering was a range of colorful hand-block printed clothing made from natural cotton and organic vegetable dyes.  The unprecedented success of that line led to the opening of the company’s first brick and mortar store in 1973 in London.

Forty plus years later Monsoon and offshoot accessories brand, Accessorize, have over 1,000 physical locations worldwide.  Though the company has experienced immense success over the past four decades, the brand has remained firmly rooted in their humble beginnings and focused on promoting sustainable fashion and global change through trade.

Spotlight on Style – Summer Basics from Zady

June 15, 2016

Founded on the three pillars of Product, People and Planet, Zady came into existence when co-founders Soraya Darabi and Maxine Bédat questioned what exactly fuels society’s consumption of low quality, fast fashion.  As they searched for answers they discovered the true environmental and human cost of our collective wastefulness.  Determined to change the way we approach fashion the duo created Zady, an e-commerce site, to bring stylish, high quality clothes with a conscience into our closets.
