This is where it all started. We weren't trying to build a brand, run a successful business or take the world by storm - we just wanted to lift this family up to a higher position, so that THEY could be the vessel of hope, the beacon of light, the change agent in their own places for their own people!

So, how do we "elevate?" This became the question. And after gaining a masters degree, reading thousands of books and process mapping - we found a fool proof plan. (HA! definitely kidding!) Here's how this went; we sat down for tea, we prayed, and we shared what was stirring in our hearts. They said;

Mind you, just a year before, I had a swift exodus from a part time job in the fashion industry and I never wanted to go back. It just didn't feel like me - and yet, here I was, seeing their heart, tears and hopes to make a difference, so I grabbed a piece of paper and started drawing the Tri-Fold Wallet - which remains as a top seller every year. We kickstarted a dream - and we've been living in one ever since.

And the thing is, each of you make this dream happen! Our team loves providing you with stunning leather goodies - but most of all we celebrate that WITH YOU, we have been able to make dreams happen for hundreds of families living in unseen or crisis scenarios. Today, we serve in 15 nations and have empowered 384 families through our small businesses program. For just one moment, pause with me…
