i am so excited about it!
my dear friend, krista is an ambassador for noonday collection.
have you heard of noonday yet???!!
here's their mission:
"The purpose of Noonday Collection is to connect you with the lives of artisans struggling for a better future while styling you along the way. Fashion and design are a vehicle for opportunity and change. You, too, can be a voice for the oppressed!"
how great is that?
and their products are just gorgeous.
so this is how krista described noonday....
"It is a company that creates a pathway out of poverty for vulnerable populations by selling fair trade fashion here in the states. The way God is using this to change the lives of women around the world is amazing! I am wanting women to see how they can purchase a completely unique accessory for themselves or a friend and at the same time help a women half way across the world keep her children instead of giving them up for adoption because she is now earning a fair wage."
ummm...yes, please. love that.
the coolest thing is that krista even got to meet some of the ugandan artisans while she was in uganda getting her son they just adopted last month.
noonday has a relationship with each and every artisan. also, love that.
okay this is from their website:
We advocate for the orphan by:
- Providing jobs that create a pathway out of poverty for women. A stable income means a family is less likely to abandon their child.
- Help families fundraise for their own adoptions. We give10% of trunk show sales directly to the adoptive family when they host a trunk show.
- Aside from donating 10% towards qualified adoptive families, Noonday Collection gives net proceeds towards orphan care and prevention.
- The dream: Take YOU on a trip to visit artisans and visit orphans in their distress.
so this is a company we can all get behind, right?
and what a great time of year....when we all want to find meaningful, special gifts for our loved ones.
so sweet krista generously sent me a noonday product to review for you.
she sent me these lovely nesting mittens.
and just in time because it has gotten cold up in here.
now here is my honest to goodness opinion of these mittens....
i love them.
they're super and cozy and warm.
they're made from alpaca wool, so hello, you know they're soft.
also, they're really long, which is fun...cute and practical.
you can pull back the mitten part when you need to do something suuuuper important like texting.
" Every product is fully traceable including where we source, what are in the products, and who actually hand knits the items."
okay raise your hand if you want to win some sassy accessory from noonday.
