In Japanese culture, the crane is a symbol of hope and healing during tough times. It’s also believed that if you fold 1,000 origami cranes, your wish will come true. Our wish (since we made thousands of these pairs) is to see a world with equity for all, and we’re proud to partner with the National Urban League as they work to make that a reality. Each pair supports their mission to provide economic empowerment, educational opportunities and the guarantee of civil rights for the underserved in America.
Our stance on ethically made comes down to the simplest goal: empower people and stand for what’s right. Any products made outside the US are fair-trade certified and any products made in the global north are made by independent artists and small non profits.
Sustainability
We pride ourselves on our commitment to sustainable business practices, whether that’s our Kraft recycled bags or the sustainable practices our vendors follow. We’re doing our best to be good for Mother Earth.
Inclusive Community
Inclusivity is at the core of what we do, whether it’s size, gender, sexual orientation, or race, we are welcoming with open arms. Our store is a safe space for all.
Empowering Women
Women are overlooked in countries in the global south, meaning they are the first to end up in poverty, unless they have a son to take care of them. But giving handouts isn’t what we do, we purchase our goods from women who’ve been empowered to make their own money!
