While we still have a long way to go, we should feel good knowing that there are some parts of the fashion industry that are focusing on creating sustainably and ethically-made products. Target just launched a collaboration with Accompany, an online retailer that dedicates itself to selling and promoting ethical fashion, and every piece is so beautiful.
According to the brand's website, Accompany combs the globe for the coolest finds that are not only fashionable and beautifully designed, but also made from ethically sourced materials. Together, Target and Accompany have come together to create over 40 unique pieces that will be available online and in select stores for a limited time. Each piece is made by locals in India, Kenya, Guatemala, Ecuador, Turkey, or the USA, and reflects the human touch and special place of origin. You'll find things such as vibrant throws, jewelry, candles, bowls, tote bags, and more. Prices range from as low as $9 to $98.
These artisanal fair trade goods shine a light on the people creating them by hand, and in an industry where fast fashion reigns supreme, it's amazing to be able to recognize and celebrate the people behind these handmade goods. Each piece tells a story, so why not take the opportunity to share that story with the world? By helping these artisans, you'll help them continue their craft and create even more beautiful things.
