UNiTY Bracele (100% profit supporting Women for Refugee Women)

To date donations from this bracelet have raised over £1500 & counting.. thank you! x

As featured in Stylist Magazine“ You looked at me and said you were not illegal and that you were not coming to the UK for £37 a week. You said you didn’t want anything more than a safe life” ~ @conversationsfromcalais100% of the profits from the UNiTY bracelet will be donated to Women for Refugee Women, a small charity which supports women who are seeking safety in the UK.

For these women, safety is not always what they find. Too often, they are met by the racism of a hostile environment. Locked up in detention & made homeless, hungry & vulnerable to further abuse.

We stand in UNiTY with these women. We are proud to partner with this vital charity who believe their voices need to be heard, who fight for a fairer asylum system & empower these vulnerable women to rebuild their own lives.

In 2016, Katie quit her job in Sydney as a women's clothing buyer for a fast fashion retailer. Here, on the frontline of fast fashion, she sat at the many negotiating tables from Shanghai to Delhi, pinching to the last cent. Always pushing for cheaper, faster, for the massive volumes that would eventually find their way to landfill, Katie eventually realized she was part of a huge problem with this. She changed course and started jewelry brand Loft & Daughter, with which Katie wants to show that you can also give back to people with a fashion company.

Ethically produced: The jewelry is fairly made in Jaipur, India. The organization is WFTO (Fair Trade) certified and provides training and employment opportunities to vulnerable or displaced artisans. All items are made by hand using slow, traditional craft techniques, not in large factories.

Eco-friendly:  Where possible, the label uses recycled silver, in addition to 22kt gold vermeil. Loft & Daughter also uses GOTS certified organic cotton with natural pigments. The workshop runs on solar energy.

Vegan: The items are vegan.
