Way back in February, Danielle, from fibre space, and I collaborated to create this pin with Me Made May in mind. We were planning an event, as we do each year, but due to current circumstances, we can’t host that event as planned.
While we are disappointed that we can’t have the Me Made May event we had originally planned, we’re thrilled to be able to offer this limited edition, custom designed enamel pin to you. It is available exclusively in our web shops. It’s an idea that I’ve had rolling around in my head for a few years, and now, with some help from Danielle and a graphic artist, it’s come to life!
This pin is a great reminder for ourselves, and those around us, that ALL clothes are made with someone’s hands. Our hope is that this pin will spark thought and conversation, and bring awareness to the deplorable working conditions of and unfair wages paid to the majority of garment workers around the globe.
