Our Business Model

Our network of social enterprises exists to prove that producing and exporting high quality products is truly and practically compatible with a fair wage, decent working conditions, job creation and resilient communities in emerging economies.

We create and strengthen social enterprises that are co-owned by their local communities, and connect them to global fashion and lifestyle brands by supporting their presence and competitiveness in the existing trade system.

Rooted in sustainability, empowerment, and heritage, Hands Of Fashion brings high-quality, ethically made pieces from our social enterprise partners’ different product categories into one lifestyle brand, crafted by skilled artisans as a celebration of African craftsmanship and its place in global fashion.
