Clothing with a Conscience

Katherine McConnell’s clothes are all original creations that are fashioned through her close-knit collaboration with a woman owned and managed design team in Dunspar, Indonesia. To provide the best product to customers, while following ethical and socially responsible business standards, all garments are fair-trade, hand-sewn, and hand-dyed from premium natural fabrics. With the help of a few sewers, all clothing is constructed with great skill, detail, and craftsmanship. Five percent of all profits go toward Habitat for Humanity Indonesia.
