Many of us take for granted the low prices we pay (which we tend to still grumble about from time to time) without really acknowledging the fact that other individuals may be getting the short end of the stick for our benefit. The Nicole Miller Indego Africa collection of clothes and jewelry focuses on fair trade to ensure that Rwandan women artisans who create such stunning pieces are not subjected to this short stick.
The Nicole Miller Indego Africa collection is filled with beautiful, hand-picked African fabrics. The quality of each short, skirt and bangle is reflected in its careful craftsmanship. What is even better than the style and look, however, is the fact that 15% of the profits from this collection will be donated to Indego Africa.
