21.01.2022 These two friends support each other and their families as they work together to make the bags that Anika uses.

10.01.2022 A great resource to help us chose ethically when buying our clothes. Unfortunately it is not just our clothing that can be made using exploited workers. Make sure you do some research and buy ethically with all your textiles.
