We are a for-profit business with impact built into our model. Instead of building a system where artisans are dependent on what we sell, we seek to provide our artisans with consistent work. Rather than giving artisans a percentage of our profits, we purchase a set amounts of bracelets each month so that the artisans we partner with can receive stable income for their families and plan for the future. We strictly abide by fair trade guidelines, which include fair pay for men and women, no child labor, and working directly with the artisans. To date, individual artisans' wages have risen 3-5x, and they earn about 3x the local standard wage. This allows the artisans to have financial security, plan for the future, and access better nutrition, healthcare, and education for their families- something we are extremely proud of and always put first.
