Social enterprise and sustainable home decor and textiles brand. Founded by a mother-daughter duo, with the goal of using fashion and decor as agents of social change to help women turn obstacles into opportunities and become financially independent. As a business, Fashion for Empowerment opens the door for independence and lays the groundwork for long-term sustainability by creating jobs, supporting education, and providing skill training. As a social enterprise, FFE collaborates with independent makers and organizations in developing nations (India, Peru, Turkey, Mexico, Lithuania to name a few) who work with marginalized and at-risk women. Together, they form artisan cooperatives that empower women and artisan communities to become financially-independent entrepreneurs. Hand-crafted textiles and decor made through old-world techniques for timeless quality and to eliminate fast-fashion ideals. The products are crafted by artisans from organic, naturally-dyed, and chemical-free materials, as we aim to re-introduce a holistic approach to sustainable fashion and lifestyle. The pieces designed and sold seamlessly fuse the quality and craftsmanship of traditional hand-crafting techniques with modern styles and functionality. From our timeless, handmade pieces to the life-changing opportunities people create, FFE is cultivating a movement that is made to last.
