Heaven's Attic

I'd like to introduce you to a UK online store called Heaven's Attic. Heaven's Attic sells jewelry, accessories, and handbags, and then shares the profits with various charities.

Currently, their main charity of choice is a worldwide organization called The A21 Campaign, which tackles slavery and hopes to abolish injustice in the 21st century. In addition to raising funds to fight human slavery and sex trafficking, Heaven's Attic aims to be socially conscious around their product sourcing. Their website says,

"One of our current suppliers work with a cooperative in the Philippines. It is made up of 50 women from a displaced community. The co-op enables them to earn a livelihood while living at home and supporting their families.

An ongoing training program offers new jewellery making skills and the opportunity to participate in the creation of new designs.

As we grow, we intend to source more products from disadvantaged communities around the globe."

If you're looking for Mother's Day or graduation gifts, I hope this post comes to mind. Heaven's Attic can ship anywhere, and my wish is that their generosity will be rewarded by success beyond their wildest dreams.
