“There are three things that no matter where people are from, what lifestyle they lead, that seem to be the common thread – they love the simplicity of being able to do good; they are moved by the stories and halo effect of their purchase that has a traceable impact all the way through the supply chain and beyond; and they appreciate the trendy designs, quality, and genuine uniqueness of the products that appeals to everyone, not just those who are consciously seeking to buy sustainably.” Explains Bridgett Lau, Co-Founder, One Good Thing.
