Sustainability Promise šŸƒ

Our ancestral commitment to our world: We have learned from our ancestors that the Earth is our center, and we must continue to honor, take care of it, and help it heal.Ā 

šŸŒ³ We are now planting one tree for every purchase! Also, clients get the opportunity to plan additional trees. We have partnered with Eden's reforestation projects. This organization supports wildlife diversity, coastlines and reforestation. ThisĀ projectĀ restores forests by growingĀ mangrove trees, an incredible carbon sink while reducing poverty by employing local people to plant millions of trees every year. You can learn more about this organization here:Ā https://www.edenprojects.org/

Currently 80% of our products are created in a sustainable way and 30% of these are fully sustainable. These are our current sustainability practices:

1) Batch shipping, we gather all our products and ship them in a large box to make our footprint as low as possible

2) Use recycled paper for business cards and product tags

3) Minimize use of packaging and use paper and recycle materials for packaging

4) Offer well made, long-lasting products to reduce consumption

5) Since we use traditional techniques and equipment, there is not much waste in the manufacturing process.Ā Ā 

6) We use chrome free leather, byproduct of the meat industry

7) Made in small batches to lowered the chances of leftover inventory

8) We NEVER throw products away! We donate them to people in need. Damaged goods get fixed or donated
