IMPACT: The Melanie Beaded Earrings are made by Haiti Design Co. who was founded in 2014 with the goal to bring about sustainable development through design, training, and job creation. Their mantra around the workshop is "MEN ANPIL, CHAY PA LOU". This is an old Haitian proverb meaning "MANY HANDS MAKE THE LOAD LIGHT". They believe that there is commonality between the designer, maker, and consumer, and that when working together we can help lighten each other's load and bring about lasting positive impact.
