This season, we’re all considering a lot when we spend our valuable dollars. And the truth is, every single dollar you spend really does matter. As a small business entrepreneur, I can verify that even small orders MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. In my work in sustainable fashion, I spend a lot of energy making sure that everything I offer is not only designed well from an aesthetic point of view, but also designed with environmental and human implications in mind. For every company and every product this looks a little different, so I take the time to forge the relationships with brands and designers to ensure that what I’m offering the world is a benefit on all fronts. With that in mind, I’ve assembled a holiday gift assortment that fits into the realities of 2020…hopefully helping us to all glean some positive vibes from the harsh realities of this year.

Owl Dress
An update on the classic holiday dress.
$68Does it make any sense to buy a dedicated special occasion dress this year? We think a special dress that can also double as a play dress is the way to go.
