Upcycled Bead Bracelet | Pink

The upcycled paper beads are hand-rolled in Toril, Philippines by a group of stay-at-home mothers. 

En Route Handcrafted Accessories:

(Previously Olivia & Diego) is a social business that works with communities of stay-at-home mothers and human trafficking survivors to create upcycled jewellery made out of fabrics from discarded cotton-knitted t-shirts that are beyond repair, and fabricate them into woven ropes. Their mission is to empower women in communities to rise above poverty through fashion & design by transforming them into artisans who craft upcycled jewellery through livelihood projects and workshops.

About Pag-asa Collective:

Pag-asa means 'hope' in Tagalog & the core purpose of this project is to try & give hope & to provide opportunities for local businesses and projects in the Philippines to sell their products here in New Zealand. The reason I have chosen the Philippines to support is because I am half-Filipino and see this as a way to connect with my roots and to help in some way with those from my Mom’s home country. This business is not-for-profit & everything made goes back into the communities; I have chosen to run the business in this way so that it never becomes about me & the core passion & purpose is always for the benefit of the communities.

After a lot of research I have chosen to partner with social enterprises that have a focus on working with local communities, victims of sex trafficking & place importance on sustainable & ethical work practises. Currently, we have partnered with 5 local businesses with the hope of partnering with more in the future.
