​Fashion Designers for Refugees Kickstarter campaigns

These kickstarter campaigns are designed to support up and coming fashion talent.  These up and coming designers get to build their brands. 

Our millennial customers get to buy designer made items before they hit the market.   This new form of buying also lowers wastage in the supply chain.  

Renee Elliott, founder of Planet Organic, will be supporting these designers build their fashion brand via Beluga Bean after each campaign.

The orders these campaigns generate will be produced by female artisans in the Swat Valley.  They have an ancient tradition of artisanship there.  This is being eroded by the conflict the region recently experienced, along with climate change & industrialisation. 

​Yes, this is the same Swat Valley where Malala comes from.  Peace has finally emerged in the region.  There are 2.5 million people looking to rebuild their lives in this region.    With your support they can rebuild their lives while working with local talent that you support. 

Please Note:
These artisans will use  Build a Nest Foundation compliance for workers ensuring all products are eco & ethically made.
​We will be sharing their stories with you as well. 

One of the rewards these campaigns offer is the experience of meeting the artisans in person and handmaking your own scarf when working with them. 

We are working with Swat Valley Guild, Xperience Pakistan & Beluga Bean on this project.
