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.
