A better way of doing good
Anything you buy supports something. Everyday you have a choice to either support a multinational company that exploits people and the environment, or buy products that observe fair trade, are cruelty-free and help ease social sufferings. If we can make better products and share the stories behind them in a way that make our buyers feel better about themselves too, then we can do this world more good.
