At Mala and Mantra, we believe in the power of the story and that storytelling is the best way to bring people together to create global change. Our most important story is one deeply rooted in a desire to consciously create high-quality, fashionable products while empowering female artisans around the globe. An equally compelling story is our mission to provide women around the globe with the healing message of wellness via our meaningful and mindful products. This story led to the creation of our global initiative, Women + Wellness (W+W). We believe improving women's resources and promoting wellness can positively affect individuals, families, communities and nations. Future plans are to expand this W+W initiative into other product categories, as well as other countries around the globe, including the United States. This will allow us to help create ongoing educational, economic and wellness opportunities for women.
