The story behind this maker began in 2010 in Gulu, Uganda with a woman named Lucy who had a sewing center but no work. What started as a partnership to create school uniforms became an epiphany about the power of fair wage employment to transform lives and keep families together.
This realization sparked the creation of a people-first apparel company that uses simple tees to connect conscious customers with skilled makers. The artisan believes that having stable, fair-wage work liberates workers from poverty and empowers them within their families and communities.
Today, the maker continues this mission in Haiti, where skilled craftspeople earn fair wages creating quality garments. Each employee supports an average of six family or community members through their work, proving that better business practices create ripple effects of positive change.
