In this day and age, the first priority of any company producing in the fashion industry should be to treat every human being according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1948.
Unfortunately, even in 2020 we still live in a world where profit and power are often chosen over humanity. People are treated badly, and products are made under poor conditions in countries far from here.
We think it is so important to raise awareness. It is a form of racism, as well as modern slavery. It is the heartbreaking truth of the fashion economy. To learn more, the documentary The True Cost explains the issue very well.
At the atelier we will always choose to work from the inside out. We work with our hearts. That is how we do our part. The passion in our hearts and the craft of our hands connect us to make wonderful things with love and care. The way we treat our products is the way we treat people.
Our bags and accessories are made in Holland, in our own atelier. I see it as my responsibility to create the best working and creative space, where true selves can be, and where unique crafts can unfold, inspire, unite and multiply.
At any level, whether it is about humanity or craftsmanship, in our atelier we truly believe that beauty is unity in diversity.
Love, Safiera ♡
