Bluma Project - Socially Conscious fashion brand RSS Feed

I came across Bluma Project while shopping online the other day. They're not exactly a "green and groovy" label but more of a socially conscious movement.

This fashion brand provides work and a means of earning a living to women in impoverished places in Rwanda and Ghana. The pieces themselves are stunning and surprisingly affordable. Many are made of natural materials such as wood, glass and paper.

I like how the colors and style is muted, but it's still eye-catching. I agree that it's more wearable than the other paper jewelry; more suited to everyday use. :)

I have seen a lot of eco-friendly projects like Bluma Project. One of which is a cooperative in the Philippines that makes rosary out of paper beads. They also sell other accessories. In fact, I bought a few of them when I went there last month for a vacation. 

Gotta agree with you there janejinx. I wish I knew how to make paper jewelry too. Actually, I think I *can* learn but I just don't have the patience for it! LOL

I'd rather buy my jewelry than make 'em. Hey, someone's gotta be the consumer! :)
