Sage X Clare X Projecthrive
Sage x Clare has partnered with Projecthrive to create a capsule collection of crochet styles that employed XX female artisans for XX workdays. This collaboration provided both economic opportunity and representation to women with virtually no access to education and helped each of them provide for their families.
Crochet is handmade by female artisans who work from home in purdah. These orders are the only opportunity for income for these communities. Crochet is traditional to these communities who create ornate pieces for their wedding trousseaus using this skill. Projecthrive initiative has been capacity building and training these communities and connecting them with socially minded brands such as Sage x Clare since 2009.
Through the utilization of hand crochet rather than machine crochet, we’ve sequestered XXX kg of CO2 emissions in the production of these garments.
Through this collaboration by using hand crochet instead of machine crochet, we have saved XXX KW of electricity.
The clothes you buy can change lives. When you buy this garment from Sage x Clare, you actively support artisans by ensuring they receive fair pay and work in safe conditions. You also help preserve generational Indigenous textile techniques and traditions that risk extinction without the backing of socially motivated brands.
