Mata Traders is one of my new obsessions! I haven't purchased clothes for almost eight months because I have been trying to be more intentional about my global footprint (aka NOT allowing myself to be apart of the sweatshop market) and more intentional about stewardship of the earth and my resources... However, I will be graduating in 18 days and I wanted a graduation dress....... so, the search began... I was looking for a fair trade clothing and found this beautiful gem of a dress:
The website says... "Mata products are original designs handmade in India and Nepal by women’s cooperatives and artisan groups that practice fair trade principles. This means that our producers are paid a livable wage in safe and fair conditions, and do their work at home and in small workshops rather than factories. Services like on-site day-care, medical check-ups, and over-time pay are offered."
Awesome. Super Awesome.
