We are excited to announce that we have opened a socially responsible market on True Travellers Society.
But we need your help!
We need to find more brands that are worth selling in our market. We are looking for brands that have a social conscious. Brands that have social development as a central component of their identity. Here are a few examples of brands that you’ll find in our market, and why they are included.
Krochet Kids – Krochet Kids is a non-profit social capitalism brand that empowers people by creating and selling knit & crocheted apparel. The founders realized that teaching their skills in developing countries could help break the cycle of poverty. Today, Krochet Kids is helping more than 150 Ugandans and Peruvians make a fair wage through the sale of crocheted goods.
Toms – Toms originated as a shoe company. With each pair of shoes purchased, the brand provides a pair of shoes for a child in need. Toms continues to expand their social development programs and now provides sight, water, safe births and bullying prevention to people in need.
Cole + Parker – This Canada-based sock company has partnered with microfinance organization Kiva. Cole and Parker donates proceeds from every sock sale to a fund that is used to provide small loans for entrepreneurs in developing countries.
You can find these awesome brands in our True Travellers Market.
