Be Sweet




Creative Products with a Conscience

If you have ever been concerned about how your fashion affects people or the environment, your worries are now over. Be Sweet was founded by Nadine Curtis who, after living in Cape Town, South Africa, decided fashion should be ethical and ethical clothing should be fashionable. She gives villagers a fair wage for their mohair, bamboo and organic cotton yarns, accessories and home goods. Be Sweet then offers a line of unique, quirky, whimsical and beautiful clothes, jewelry, home items as well as yarn and patterns.

Be Sweet has gone the extra step so that shopping for your wardrobe can easily be fashionable and honest.

Autonomie Project, Inc.


Always vegan. Always eco-friendly. Always sweatshop-free.



Autonomie Project (AP) is a new Fair Trade fashion company offering stylish sweatshop-free & eco-friendly footwear, clothing and accessories. Born out of frustration that most sweatshop-free clothing was unfashionable and most eco-friendly clothing was likely made in a sweatshop (and that most major corporations lack any kind of true transparency), a few good friends set off to start a new and different company.

Their mission: to supply high
-quality, stylish garments to consumers that seek to make purchases that align with their values without having to sacrifice their own personal style, all while making a positive social impact on their earth and raising awareness about today’s most pressing global issues.

AP use organic cotton, all natural FSC rubber, and other eco-friendly & locally-sourced materials whenever possible to lessen their environmental impact
. They never use animal products and encourage cruelty-free purchases. AP assists their workers with the development and marketing of their products so that they may prosper and become thriving participants in a reconfigured global marketplace.
