Like many of the brands we carry, we support causes that fight for equality for all, women's rights, and environmental protection.
2021 Support
March - Asian Americans Advancing Justice
2020 Support
When faced with closing our shop because of shelter-in-place we joined the Together Apart Alliance as a way to give back a portion of sales to Feeding America, while also striving to sustain our own small business by offering a discount to encourage shopping.
Our shop alone was able to donate 3000 meals through Feeding America during this campaign!
When I first opened the shop in 2015 part of my mission was to give back a portion of sales to organizations fighting for equality for all, women's rights, and environmental protection. Over the past 5 years we have donated portions of our sales with small campaigns, but nothing consistently simply because we operate on very small margins. Now I figure a small impact is better than no impact at all. Starting in June 2020 we will be making a bigger commitment!
We will donate 5% of sales to different organizations each season. [added note: we unfortunately were not able to sustain this commitment as the financial pressures of the pandemic continued. We hope to return to a form of this once the company is more stable. We're proud of the support we have given so far.]
