When it comes to spending money on clothing, one thing that I would urge everyone to think about is a company’s impact. Is the brand your wearing right now benefiting someone on the other side of the world? One company that truly is making a REAL WORLD positive impact is SLOWCOLOR. A fair trade clothing company, creating handmade and naturally dyed (always) fashion accessories and home furnishings.

Scarves truly are the perfect accessory. They come in beautiful colors, and make you feel elegant in your own way. SLOWCOLOR is an amazing company…one that creates stunning craftsmanship and provides its creators with a fair amount of money for their work. Take a closer look at the detail of the scarf that was sent to me…
SLOWCOLOR’s elegant handloomed, naturally plant dyed, fair trade made scarves in colors to suite both him and her would be a wonderful gift for anyone. A gift to feel truly grateful for, and globally connected to the good of giving.
Not the best picture of me above, but I can definitely share that the scarf was incredibly soft, one of a kind and detailed throughout. The prices for these products are MORE than fair for the amount of time spent to create such an incredible product. I would highly recommend you all to check out this company and see if you can find something you can’t live without!
