While our partners aren't currently able to make products like these from start to finish, sales from these items help fund our ability to introduce new products and production methods.

- Best stored away from humidity and polished with Brasso, steel wool, a lemon juice scrub, or warm water and soap

Impact

The fashion industry employed over 40 million women, only 2% of which earn a living wage. This allows fashion brands to churn out continual new trends for consumers while makers face a continued cycle of poverty.

Instead, we partner with female entrepreneurs who started their manufacturing businesses to create jobs for local women with living wages. Our collaborations create work for women rising above the poverty line and changing the cycle of generational poverty for their families.

In addition to social good, brass is infinitely recyclable making it a perfect material as we begin to incorporate more sustainable business practices.
