SheIn is a popular company with pretty and cheaply priced clothing, but they treat their employees poorly and don’t pay them well. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Did you know your Amazon and Big Box retail store purchased are fueling the demand for forced labor (the largest percentage of those trapped in trafficking)?

Did you know you can purchase from Better Way Designs and know that the makers of the products are safe and paid fairly?

Our artisans are given a living wage job, health care, child care, education, counseling and therapy, job skill training and DIGNITY!

Let’s start a movement! !

They come in two sizes and several color options (though the specific color will vary).
