Supporting local artisans is something we thrive for in our business and personal lives. When Lindsey and I stumbled upon
31 Bits, we knew we wanted to partner with them and have them as a vendor in San Diego!
Their mission is clear…Using fashion and design to empower people to rise above poverty. Women in Uganda create the quality and beautiful products and in return they are cared for with education, health care, finance training and business mentoring. After 5 years, a woman graduates with her own business! Their family trajectory has changed forever, and their lives are changed forever!
Lindsey and I each have 3 kids and don’t have much time fussing about what we are going to wear or hours to get ready everyday. These necklaces are the perfect accessory to make us look pulled together with no effort! They are light and easy to wear because they are all made of paper beads. (yes thats right, PAPER! recycled paper, which is right up our ally!)

I was so excited to see their kid collection! No, I don’t have any little gils, but I have teeny tiny wrists so most bracelets slide right off me. I picked out these two bracelets from their kids line, and they fit perfectly! They will be a new staple in my wardrobe for sure!
On Coley: Necklace- The Stylist Pink bracelet- Reach for the Stars, Turquoise Bracelet- Be Brave

And the best news… they will be at our market in San Diego!!! Come say hi, meet the gals behind the mission, and purchase your very one pieces. I’m so excited for next weekend it makes me want to dance…
