The Designer:

Autumn is an advocate for the environment and the human condition, and she devotes annual time and revenue to these causes. Autumn utilizes domestically made organic fabrics and re-purposed designer‐end natural & synthetic fabrics to reduce the environmental burden of textile manufacturing.

Point 6

About:
a long, long time ago in the 80’s…
There was Peter and Patty, two snow crazy merino wool converts from Vermont.

They roamed the woolderness in their beat-up old van, the first to introduce merino virgins to the joy of socks. spreading the wool. They cured chief stinkfoot and crazy blister, and soon had so many converts that Peter and Patty started the best darn merino sock empire in the U.S. weaving their names into sock folk legend.

But Peter and Patty yearned for the road and their feet began to itch, which was strange because merino is itch-free.

So now they roll with the nomadic point6 tribe. this tribe has pimped out some sweet vans, put in some banging sound sytems and now spread the wool asking people to have socks with them.

Because once you’ve experienced point6, your socks life will never be the same again

Dorje Designs

About:
Over the years, I have been drawn to the study of antique and ancient beads and artifacts. The impetus and inspiration for my jewelry designs is fed by the fascinating history and stories behind these pieces of stone, shell, glass, and metal that are decades, centuries and, at times, millennia old. My unique creations combine beads, amulets, pendants, and other relics from various ages, cultures, and religions into one-of-a-kind necklaces and earrings, which individuals around the world purchase both for adornment and as collector pieces. Occasionally, I offer unique pieces from other selected designers, as well as original antique ethnic jewelry and collectible beads.

My travels, combined with personal relationships with traders and collectors from Africa, Central and East Asia, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America, allow me to obtain the highest quality materials for my creations. Meeting and becoming friends with so many people who share my love and interest in ethnic jewelry has been a blessing. In fact, it is quite natural to find traders from Mali, Nigeria, and other countries visiting my home, with tubs of beads and artifacts from around the world.

With gratitude, we donate 10% of our profits to relief agencies in countries where our beads and artifacts were originally created and worn.

Cowboys Toys

About
Howdy, Partners! Welcome to our collection of leather products, fancy duds and decorative doodads.

You’re in the right place if you’re looking for handmade saddles, tack, fine leather clothing, leather decorative items, and various other useful and attractive leather products, all of which we’ve been making since…well, so long we can’t rightly recall.

Some of our fine leather products are aimed at making you and your horse as comfortable as possible, other items are right useful even to city folks with maybe an affection for western cowboy decor. Our simple Pocket Lead, for example, could be used to help you handle a horse, but you could just as well use it as an attractive dog leash. Or you might want a pair of cowboy chaps to wear while riding your motorcycle, like Jackie does…

You’ll also find information on making your own leather products, suppliers and such…and a bit of history about us and our ranch in western Colorado.

Sundance Sheepskin & Leather

About:
Sundance Sheepskin and Leather was established as a family business in 1971. Now, 38 years later we pride ourselves in still being a small family owned and operated business. We hand make all of our products in a small workshop out of our home in our small Colorado mountain town of Guffey. Since 1976 we have been marketing our products at judged arts and crafts fairs, as well as running a mail order business. We attend approximately 20 shows annually in a six state region.
Call us for show schedules and information.

Green business practices
The Sundance family is committed to doing what we can to help the environment. We realize that the shoe industry is not the most environmentally friendly industry, but here are a few reasons that buying from Sundance can help make a difference:
*We have eliminated the toluene based adhesives from our product lines and have gone to a natural rubber based glue with stitched on techniques. Healthier for us and for the environment.
*We buy only US materials tanned locally, thus eliminating the huge amounts of oil required to ship materials from China and other parts of the world and reducing the “carbon footprint” of producing our products.
*The US tanneries that we use are subject to much higher environmental standards than their foreign competitors.
*We re-use cardboard boxes for all of our shipping and recycle anything we can.
*We recently started shipping all orders using UPS Carbon Neutral shipping to offset the environmental impacts of shipping.
*All of the Sundance Family lives within walking distance of our workshop!
*Our workshop is a highly efficient, passive solar design with wood heat.
*We are looking into the feasibility of installing an active solar and wind powered electric system to power our workshop – we’ll keep you posted on the progress.
*Creating products from sheepskin is using an otherwise wasted byproduct of the wool and lamb industry. Sheep are not raised solely for their skins.
*We are always looking for new ways to improve our practices and reduce our impact on our Mother Earth.

So, put on your warm fuzzy Sundance Sheepskin Slippers and turn down the thermostat!

Global Girlfriend

About:
Global Girlfriend was created by Stacey Edgar in 2003 to help women worldwide gain economic security while providing you unique products and a simple way to help women in need. Our fair-trade boutique offers a line of trend-setting, women-made, fair-trade products including stylish apparel, accessories and gifts with one purpose — helping women in need help themselves. We believe passionately that economic opportunity for women holds the promise for real change in the world; because when women have an income, they reinvest in themselves and in their children’s health, education and nutrition, building stronger families and communities over time. Many women try desperately to make a living selling their artisan-quality goods but find that they have little access to market opportunities. Through fair-trade practices, Global Girlfriend brings the work of these disadvantaged groups directly to you. Global Girlfriend believes in forming long-term partnerships that provide women a fair living wage with equal employment opportunities, healthy and safe working conditions, technical assistance and development strategies to foster prosperity and reduce poverty.

* Women Made
We know that economic opportunities for women holds the promise for real change because with a sustainable income over time, a woman invests in her family’s health and education — things that really help break the cycle of poverty.

* Fair Trade
We also know that for women to thrive, those opportunities must reflect fair working conditions, many times non-traditional ones like working from home, and access to resources that provide a gateway into the global economy

* Eco-Friendly
We share one earth and it must be healthy for us all to thrive. We support women in producing products that solve their community environmental issues, producing healthier children, rivers, skies and world.

Global Girlfriend directs the charity royalty from each purchase to Camfed (Campaign for Female Education), a nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating poverty in Africa through the education of girls and the empowerment of young women. Camfed works directly with girls and women in rural areas of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana and Tanzania, providing educational and economic opportunities.

The charity royalty from each purchase at Global Girlfriend is directed to Camfed’s seed money micro-grant and micro-credit program. Camfed’s seed money micro-grant program is run by young women for young women, creating a bond of female solidarity that is integral to its success. Young women in the seed money program receive an initial micro-grant, which they do not have to repay, in order to launch a small business venture, benefiting themselves, their families, and their entire communities.

OlovesM Eco Bags

About:
OlovesM Eco Bags popped into my head while on my yoga mat, I wanted to figure out a way to re-purpose mats that were being tossed, I realized that new mats were not being use, due to being PVC, so I have taken them along with sandal webbing that was not going to be used, due to the company selling. and USA made fabris and have created a unique line of bags. Each bag is hand made in Colorado where I live.

The OlovesM.com bags are a zero waste creation, made from un-used material that companies were going to throw away. I have given them refuge for their remnants, and created the OlovesM Bag Line. Enjoy your bag and remember: You are using a bag that IS making a difference!

Smile & Enjoy Life!
