Happy International Women’s Day Y’all 💗

Wow! We couldn’t do this without all you amazing ladies out there! We reviewed the data, and almost 100% of our orders come from women-owned businesses! That is incredible. Thank you!!

It takes a village. On that note, special shout out today to @hollygreenhagen @dart.and.gather for her deep support of our fabulous ladies (and gents!) in India these past couple months especially. Holly is picking up freelance design projects and is able to help prepare your designs for production at WORK+SHELTER or for other manufacturers. Drop her a line if you need help ☺️

So gratifying to support up and coming talent (woman owned, woman made, whoop!) bring their creative vision to life.

These organic cotton napkins designed by Chicago-based @roseroot.textiles sold out before we could even make them! They are inspired by vintage prints from the 1950’s, and the original print was linoleum cut.

Get on the waitlist now and we’ll try to see if we can sneak making a handful more in just for you. Click through to Roseroot’s site via our Linktree or head directly here:

The annual Acumen report on corporate-ready social

The annual Acumen report on corporate-ready social enterprises came out last week, and WORK+SHELTER is on the list!
•
•
"Our research findings clearly show that social enterprises are not only ready to do business with corporations, but that successful business partnerships are already in place."
•
•
We couldn't agree more! Thank you to Acumen for the recognition. Read the full report at the link in our bio, or drop us a line at hello@workshelter.co if you’re interested in working with us.

Did you know that India is the second largest prod

Did you know that India is the second largest producer of textiles in the world? India’s most common textile crops are cotton, silk, and jute. The video above shows our Founder and CEO Theresa VanderMeer with longtime friend + current client partner Allyson Dykhuizen at a local fabric market in New Delhi.
•
•
Cotton makes up 60% of India’s textile industry and is also the most common fiber we use here at WORK+SHELTER. In 2000, India’s government passed strong legal protections (including high tariffs) against importing fibers from outside of India in order to preserve the domestic weaving and milling industries.
•
•
You can learn about all of the above and get a glimpse into India’s storied textile history in our most recent blog post, How India’s Textile History is Woven Into the Modern Fabric & Soft Goods Industry.
