WHY YOUR PURCHASE MAKES A DIFFERENCE
TO THE MARKET is committed to building a better world by empowering people to harness their purchasing power to make a difference. By joining forces with underrepresented artisans and makers worldwide who provide safe, dignified, and fairly paid work to their employees, we take steps toward changing the retail industry for good by creating products that are better for people and better for the planet.
We are in this together - we want to be socially and environmentally responsible and we know you do too. That is why we vet all of our suppliers to ensure they provide safe, healthy, and positive work environments - and that means fair wages and sustainable hours.
Were all united in our desire for change. No matter who we are or where in the world we live, we all strive for economic empowerment and opportunity. We believe that everyone deserves equal opportunity to do this through fulfilling safe, and fairly compensated work.
We love our planet and we have a hunch you do to. That is why we lean on a demand-driven supply chain that uses sustainable processes and materials, like organic cotton, up-cycled fabrics, and natural dyes. Many of our suppliers hold some of the highest standard and third party certifications like GOTS.

Our founder and CEO, Jane Mosbacher Morris, was working at the U.S. Department of State on counterterrorism and women’s empowerment issues when she realized the best way to empower women was to help connect the work they do with those who want to buy it. During her time at the Department of State, Jane identified two significantly under-served markets:
On the demand side, enormous interest (especially from millennials and Gen Z) for ethically made products. People want to see the same transparency in the fashion world that now exists within the food and beverage space.
On the supply side, an incredible untapped production capacity around the world, particularly in the artisan industry. It’s the second-largest economy in the developing world, behind agriculture, but is largely disconnected from the supply chains of traditional retailers and corporations.
Jane is named by Fortune as one of the World’s 25 Greatest Leaders: Heroes of the Pandemic.
