Work. Dignity. Beauty.

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,

regardless of time, place, or circumstance.

The thread may stretch or tangle,

but it will never break."

- A Chinese Proverb

 

I have some thing special to share with you today!

Scarlet Threads is a boutique offering beautiful and unique products made by women in rural Asia. 

Check out these adorable aprons...

"No matter what country we call home, as women we care about the same things -- our children and our families. When you purchase a Scarlet Threads product, you become intricately connected to a woman half a world away. You give her the chance to provide for her family in a safe and dignified way, and you make our vision a reality." 

I've just spent some time reading about the staff and am inspired myself to help find some homes for these beautiful aprons! I think every woman needs a fun apron to help her cook! It'll make everything she cooks taste better just by wearing one! =) Just kidding, but I'm sure it can't hurt either!

{Profit Sharing} "In addition to paying a fair wage to each seamstress for her work, we share 5 percent of the profits with the women. Calculated based on the sale of the aprons they produce, this is another method to infuse more money into the local community with dignity and compassion.

{Giving Back} We donate 5 percent of each sale to development projects benefiting impoverished families living in our local village. These contributions help with medical costs, school fees, and basic housing improvements for families who are not able to provide for themselves."
