women led

Our objective is simple - support women! For us, supporting women comes in a variety of ways:

Objectives:

  • Support businesses led by women and use our buying power to purchase from women led businesses!

  • A significant number of workers in the fashion world are women with males as their superior. By advocating for women's rights, equal pay and supporting progression into leadership roles, we can drastically increase the rights of women in the industry.

  • Stand up and support nonprofits and organizations that help support women, fight for their rights and advance their interests here and abroad.

  • Highlighting amazing women and amplify women's voices!

For all of our garments made by Niko International, the hardworking Elizabeth prints off and cuts all our labels at her place in Lima.
