Buy One. Give One.
In the fall of 2018, I participated in my first artisans market in Boulder, CO and it was here that I launched Foxlilie to life! Since then, I’ve participated in multiple markets, overcome production challenges and discovered valuable lessons about how to succeed as a clothing maker. Truly, it is the people that I’ve met along the way though who keep me going. When I reflect back on my first year in business, I am humbled by this unique community of kids, parents, friends and partners who not only help make the clothing possible but, support me in doing what I love every day! And its because of this that I want to give back and help people make what they love possible too.
I have always been inspired by businesses that have a broader mission to impact the larger community through sustainable giving practices. TOMS Shoes “One for One" campaign to give back what it sells is one such example. When I conceived of Foxlilie’s goal to make fun, durable clothing for kids, I also envisioned outfitting as many kids as possible. A little over a year ago, I joined a dance troupe with Rico Changeux, owner & teacher at Streetside Studio in Boulder. As I got to know Rico, I learned about the Vertile Foundation, a home for orphaned kids in Haiti which he founded in 2010 after a devastating earthquake. When I heard that 60% of children in Haiti live in poverty, I knew I wanted to create Foxlilie’s own “One for One” campaign by donating a portion of the clothes we make to kids in need.
Join me and the Foxlilie community to change lives with our own giving campaign. Buy one pair of our sustainably designed leggings and we’ll give one to the Vertile family in Haiti and help orphaned kids!
