BY WOMEN. HELPING WOMEN.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
—Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail," April 16, 1963
ETHIC GOODS has committed to send 25% of all Justice bracelet proceeds to Blu_Print, a non-profit organization working to create equality in the school systems and actively prevent the school to prison pipeline. Because, "Every student deserves to have a learning environment that leads them down a road of inspiration not incarceration."
Justice and its pursuit can be different for each of us. This bracelet isn't just a powerful reminder of the Justice you seek in your life, but it also gives back to the benefactors Blu Print supports, to the female artisans your purchase employees, to Ethic Goods striving to make the world better for women around the world, to our micro business and the charities we support.
Made with semi-precious beads, glass beads, elastic and love. Each bracelet is hand-crafted by a mom in Thailand working to the next generation of children to have bright, hope-filled futures.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Ethic Goods is based in Washington, DC. We work with our artisans to design each line, and while we are designers by trade, our real mission is to use what we love (FASHION!) to help women across the globe heal, step into their potential, and leave a great legacy for their kids. We believe in solving problems creatively, living with purpose, and loving big. Our artisans inspire us to live a beautiful life, regardless of what’s happened. Their courageous, adventurous and resilient spirits are in each piece.
Ethic Goods started in 2011 when founder Maegan Hawley noticed a problem in her closet. After accumulating all sorts of accessories while traveling, they sat on the shelf unused when she returned home. Most of the items came from social-impact organizations with the mission of empowering women. While each piece was special and represented a powerful story, the style didn’t quite fit her day-to-day life in Washington, DC. An unworn piece meant an untold story.
“On Valentines Day, 2011 I visited the jewelry shop of an anti-trafficking organization in Thailand and shopped ‘till I dropped. You should have seen my suitcase! Later that evening I went to a red light district in the hopes of connecting with some of the girls working at the bars. I literally had to purchase time to talk with a woman working there. Sitting across the table from her, she shared where she was from, how old her kids were. Normal stuff, but it really impacted me. I realized small shops like the one I visited hours before provided the best and healthiest economic opportunity for women at risk. All they needed was opportunity. -Maegan
Ethic Goods provides economic empowerment for women rescued from human trafficking, and those at risk of exploitation. We work primarily in South East Asia, and partner with non-profits that provide holistic care (counseling, education, and health care), focus on strengthening the family unit, and have demonstrated a community centered approach. They also believe business has a role to play in empowering the women they work with, which is where we come in. By coming alongside these magnificent ladies to develop their business skills, they have the opportunity to provide for their families and set their children on a new, hope-filled path.
