// SLOW FASHION IS A GIRLS BEST FRIEND //

WooP WooP!

Our handmade Maliha ring is featured in
 Costume Magazine!  


YaY :) 

 We launched this design in our very
first collection back in 
2013 and it just proves that classic 

jewellery 
never goes out of style.  

Psst!
Pimping up your outfit with your personal mix
of  jewellery is the perfect way to add
some 
"newness" to your style,
without investing in new

clothes <3 

The Maliha ring is available online here:

// DECISION HAPPINESS //


"I am trying to be a happy person.
Every morning, I wake up and decide
that I will be happy.
But sometimes it is difficult to be happy
no matter how hard I try."

 (Kanchi Maharjan, Chapagaun, Lalitpur)

One of the things we admire the most
about Nepali people is how they are able to
be content and find happiness despite
their rough and hard lives.

So if you're not happy today,
maybe you can wake up tomorrow and decide
to be happy then, or at least content
with your life and what you have?

Still not happy?
It's time to change something in
your life, but only you know what really
makes you happy and what makes your
life worth living.
Good luck and enjoy the journey.

For us the start up of A/BARENESS
and our Give Back project gives
lots of meaning all though
 still no salary, but that
just proves yet again;

Money isn't everything!!!

// ENVIRONMENT MUSES //



One of our favorite "Environment Muses",
 Sara Fosstvedt,
 has written a post on her blog, ECOJOURNEY,
 about the future of (Slow) fashion and 
positive, inspiring approaches and actions 
within the industry: 



You'll also find links to the ethical brands 

she is recommending
 and 
we are sooo proud, happy and humble that A/BARENESS 
is on her list :D


 Recognition like this gives us tons of motivation 
to keep up our mission to contribute to
 a clean & fair fashion industry 
and 
providing kids in Nepal with clean drinking water
 trough our
project,
 every single day (:
