Many shoppers don't realize that the products they buy are often made by exploited workers in harmful conditions.

Are you struggling with:

Buying products that someone wasn't paid fairly to make?
Filling your home with synthetic materials that harm both people and planet?
Not knowing who made your things or the story behind them?

We get it. Finding products you can feel good about buying is hard.

You want to be a conscious consumer whose purchases reflect your values and create positive change. To do this, you need beautiful, ethically-made products created by artisans who are treated with dignity and paid a living wage.

The problem is today's marketplace hides exploitation behind clever marketing, creating a growing distance between makers and buyers. This can leave you feeling powerless, wondering if your purchases are helping or harming the people who made them.

We believe beautiful things should enhance everyone's lives—from the hands that create them to the homes they grace. That's why we’ve made it our mission to connect mindful consumers with skilled artisans, helping both groups create meaningful exchanges that transform lives.

Here's what makes our approach unique:

Direct Maker Relationships: We eliminate middlemen who take profits from artisans, ensuring your money reaches the hands that actually created your treasures
Real Stories, Real People: Each piece in our collection is made by someone we know personally—a person with a name, a family, and dreams your purchase helps fulfill
Earth-Honoring Materials: We transform pre-existing natural fiber fabrics and repurposed materials into stunning pieces that honor people, traditional craftsmanship and our planet's future

With a limited clothing budget, it has been a challenge for me to find items that are beautiful, sustainably made and comfortable. Tada…enter Freedom Fibers!
Now I can add gorgeous one of a kind pieces to my wardrobe. Knowing the process of their production from design to completion is purposely respectful and loving to our planet and it’s people makes it a joy to wear!

My freedom fibers pieces are fabulous! I love supporting a company that understands fashion can be beautiful, and ethically made — all while paying garment makers a wage they can truly live on — not just barely survive. Each piece is a conversation starter! Get a piece and get the conversation started! Oh- and the pieces are versatile and I can style in so many different ways depending on my mood or the season! Ole!

-Elizabeth A.
Freedom Fibers found me! The first time I saw Meli at an art show, I was drawn by the vibrant colors on display and the uniqueness of her garments. I am in love with each piece I have purchased not only because it is truly “wearable art” but also because I know for certain that neither our environment nor the makers were exploited in the creation process.
