Another senseless killing. Daunte Wright. Black Lives Matter.
It’s #tuesdaytruthday. Warning: downer post.
.
If you haven’t heard the term “Revenge Shopping” it’s how business analysts are describing post pandemic spending patterns.
.
We get it. We’ve been locked down for so long, and we desperately want to get out and support the economy.
.
But as we open up and choose how to spend our money, we need to remember that our choices as humans are what got us here in the first place. Climate change is linked to everything, including virus outbreaks.
.
So let’s make better choices. Shop, but with intention. Shop sustainably. Support BIPOC businesses. Spend on experiences, vs material goods.
.
Because we already have more clothing on this Earth than we can handle. Swipe to see what happens to our “donated” items. We can’t afford to continue these habits. Let’s focus our “revenge” shopping on “responsible” shopping.
.
Be back next time with more a more uplifting post. #sorrynotsorry🤷

Still Life • Scenes From The Away
Kantamanto sees 15million secondhand garments a week and 40% leave as waste. Much of this waste is handled informally by individuals who carry the waste on foot or via small tricycle motor-carts to informal dumpsites like this one.
This is a dumpsite in Old Fadama, which is home to 80,000+ people. This dumpsite is over 30ft tall and ~60% clothing waste (based on our studies), almost all being secondhand clothing waste from Kantamanto.
Cattle graze here trying to find scraps of food in between our trash. There are also goats and birds. These animals regularly try to eat plastic bags and textiles.
This dumpsite continues to grow, so one side of it was burnt to “make space.” At first glance these images look like you are staring at a pathway, but you are actually looking at a 15ft vertical face of the dumpsite that is now layers of burnt textiles & plastic.
Q: Where does the fashion industry’s excess “end up”?
A: Here.
Past... big things happening over here.
A sneak peek at our pop up shop in Studio City! LA locals- we’re getting ready to host some amazing events so that you can shop for eco friendly items and rent your fashion items IN PERSON!!! Details coming soon...

As an Asian American woman, I am looking at my childhood under a new lens. I am AWARE that I experienced racism. I am AWARE that I experienced fetishism. I am AWARE that I was always made aware of my differences. What I WASN’T aware of was how much I buried underneath a tough exterior and what I inadvertently excused as acceptable behavior by not speaking up.
.
And now I am unpacking it all.
.
In Chinese culture, Saving Face is a big deal. It’s about curtailing your own emotions and reactions in order to not cause a scene and embarrass yourself.
.
I excelled at this.
.
When other kids made ignorant comments, sang offensive songs, made fun of my language, my looks, I stared stonefaced, never letting anyone feel like they could penetrate my shell with their racism. I didn’t yell back. Didn’t cry. Didn’t report it. What I thought was demonstrating strength was actually admitting tolerance. BY NOT SPEAKING UP, I WAS SAYING THIS BEHAVIOR WAS ACCEPTABLE.
.
I no longer tolerate this. And I am no longer afraid of speaking up or making a scene. Because what I understand now is that the embarrassment was never meant for me to feel. It should have fallen upon the ones making the racist remarks.
.
I am about my daughter’s age in this picture. I want her to grow up knowing that she should absolutely SPEAK UP. Luckily I think she was born fearless and would have no qualms ever calling out injustice. And we are finally seeing the AAPI community all band together to support her and each other.

Hi! Time for a reintroduction
I’m @therealdaisychenhutton, #femalefounder of The Fixx Collective.
.
We spent a lot of this month highlighting brands from our sustainable #fempire in honor of #womenshistorymonth2021 . We also spent a lot of time touching on the importance of addressing social injustice and trying to create more equity in this world by directing a portion of our proceeds towards helping young girls of color @we_are_rise_inc.
.
While climate change is at the forefront of our mission, we recognize that it’s not something that can be viewed from a singular lens and that there is an intersectionality that includes issues that affect all of humanity.
.
We are an #asianowned #femaleowned #ecominded #smallbusiness. Over the next few weeks, we’ll share more about our story, growing up Asian American, and why these stories are important to share. Thanks for being here!
#stopaapihate #nolongersilent #strongasianwomen #asianfemaleentrepreneur #intersectionalenvironmentalism
“I am so beautiful” Period.
.
We love how the young mentees in @we_are_rise_inc are learning that *Believing* we are beautiful is a mantra worth learning.
.
This is just one of the self esteem boosting exercises that helps these young girls of color demonstrate self love and also why we are so proud to support their cause during #womenshistorymonth2021.
.
Beauty is more than what’s on the surface. Which is also why we love our brands- because not only do their products make us feel good on the outside, they also make us feel good on the inside. Each of them has a story that is about making our world a better place.
That’s the “beauty” of what we’re to build.
.
A portion of all March sales goes to support @we_are_rise_inc and their local mentorship program.
.
Now repeat: “I am so beautiful.”
❤️

Continuing our recognition of #femaleowned brands that are part of our #fempire. @thesoralife is founded by two Asian women who believed they could create eco friendly towels that are artistically stunning and multi functional. Each towel is made from 8 recycled plastic bottles. They are lightweight, sand repellent, quick drying and can go from the yoga studio to poolside to bathroom art all in a day’s work. We love this brand and love supporting this #asian #female #sustainable brand.

It’s more important than ever to continue talking about racial inequality. So as we continue to honor #womenshistorymonth2021, we will continue to highlight our non profit partner @we_are_rise_inc.
.
In our newsletter (subscribe on our site to sign up) we talked about what inspired founder Ebone Smith to start this mentoring program.
.
The pandemic brought to the surface the gigantic gap in discrepancies to access for these girls. Unemployment, scarcity of resources, and lack of technology hit these families hard. RISE doubled down in its efforts to provide resources to their mentees including school supplies, tutoring, and transportation.
.
Please check out their page to learn more and support their efforts with a donation if you are able. Also, we will continue to donate 9% of sales this month (on top of our 1% for the planet) as ongoing support.

Continuing our #womensherstorymonth inspiration with boss ladies who are part of our #fempire. Jade Eknaian, #femalefounder of @dehvcandleco inspires us with her passion for these eco friendly candles.
.
Not sure what we love more, the actual scents of the non toxic clean burning scents, or the possibilities for repurposing the natural concrete vessels afterwards! Such beautiful plant holders or kitchen container!
.
One of our favorite scents is Soiree, a delightfully elegant and festive scent. Because who isn’t in the mood for a good get together right now?
.
Which is your favorite scent and how would you repurpose your container?
.
Proceeds from this month’s sales are still going to support the young girls of color from mentoring program @we_are_rise_inc .

Spotlighting the #Fempire for #womensherstorymonth. OSAY (Our Stories Are Yours) is a female owned brand started by Kenya Fourati and Simone Carries.
.
These fashion veterans started @osaythelabel as a tribute to culture, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Their luxury shoes are handcrafted by artisans in Tunisia using leftover leather scraps.
.
Wear them as slides or loafers and know that your purchase is supporting women, small business, artisans, and climate change all in one!
.
And swipe to watch the incredible video of how each shoe is made!
❤️ 🌍 👞
Reminder- percentage of all proceeds this month goes to @we_are_rise_inc to support young girls of color.

It’s a buzzkill for sure.
.
Polyester can do amazing things but did you know...
IT’s MADE FROM PETROLEUM?!?!
.
That’s right. Just like plastic, your polyester and other manmade fibers are incredibly versatile, but also completely unsustainable as they are made from non renewable resources and also sit in our landfills for centuries.
.
The good news is that technology has come a long way and companies are discovering eco friendly alternatives like RPET, which takes post consumer plastic and turns it into beautiful, functional fabric allowing us to showcase brands like @girlfriend @wolven and @thesoralife and their eco friendly active lifestyle products.
.
Hope you can join us in saying no to ever buying clothes made from virgin polyester ever again!

What is @shopgreenlist?
.
Shocking news alert!!!
.
MANY RETAILERS DO NOT RESTOCK RETURNS because the manpower and logistics to process returns is often more costly than the product is worth. So what do they do instead? THEY TOSS IT IN THE TRASH. 😳 (we would never do this btw!)
.
However, even the transportation back and forth from customers to retailer adds more fuel and environmental impact than we want to think about.
.
Greenlist is a company that is trying to solve this problem and we are excited to partner with them in the name of sustainability.
.
As a #consciousconsumer, you can help by clicking the leaf symbol next to our apparel and shoes to express your interest in those items- kind of like a wishlist. And if another customer happens to be returning their item (unused and undamaged), they would send them directly to you, saving everyone time, money, and reducing our overall carbon footprint.
.
Brilliant, no?

Another #brandspotlight!
We are obsessed with @osaythelabel shoes. These loafers are made from sustainable luxury leather scraps that are leftover as byproducts from other industries. And every shoe is handmade by artisans in Tunisia!
.
Leaving the house more these days? Wear the heel up for the full loafer fit.
.
Still staying home? Flip the heel down for a casual slipper look.
.
Either way, they’ve got your feet covered as we take steps in a brighter direction! Available in leopard, white, and navy!

RESTOCKED in our favorite eco friendly @thesoralife towels!
.
What else can we say about how much we love these products?
.
Made from recycled plastic bottles, diverting pollution from our oceans
.
Quick drying and water wicking (even drool wicking as mentioned by our own new mom @ingycla - “the drool just rolls right off!”)
.
Perfect for your yoga/ fitness life!
.
Sand repellant for beach days- unlike those cotton towels that seem to collect sand!
.
Beautiful artwork for home decor!
.
So compact and easy to carry!
.
Hardest part is choosing your print. Which is your favorite?
