The Dressember dress from Elegantees is a beautiful, easy dress to ring in the New Year with...and an easy wear for the spring! I love the casual neckline and asymmetrical hem!
Elegantees is a relative newcomer to the fashion industry and supports a great system of change. Founded by Katie Martinez in 2010, their mission is to provide hope, fair wages and independence to survivors of sex trafficking in Nepal. Elegantees partnered with the Nepali Rescue Project, an organization that helps to pull 20,000 women and children each year from sex trafficking, and quickly realized that creating a income system had a far greater effect on life quality than charitable gifts. After providing counseling and helping women find a safe home, Elegantees teaches women to create classic garments at their own sewing center in Kathmandu.
As a company that has only reached their 5-year mark, Elegantees has evolved a great deal since its inception and clearly is on the right track to making a huge difference in the lives of women in Nepal.
Grateful and Smitten.
