yeglasses anyone! Warby Parker has the same motto as TOMS and BOMBAS. Buy a pair, give a pair! For every pair of glasses purchase, Warby Parker donates to Vision Spring. “Instead of donating, our partners train men and women to sell glasses for ultra-affordable prices, which allows them to earn a living. More important, it forces our partners to offer glasses that people actually want to buy: glasses that fit with local styles, look good, work well, and make the wearer feel incredible.� Today, Warby Parker have distributed 1 million pairs of glasses!

FOTOSTRAP TOP SPOTLIGHT

Fotostrap is the camera strap that gives back. With every purchase, Fotostrap donates 10% to Fotolanthropy, a non-profit that gives portrait sessions and short films to inspiring people who are overcoming adversity.

By choosing Fotostrap, you are directly helping to fund Fotolanthropy! It is because of our Fotostrap customers that Fotolanthropy can continue to give, capture and share inspiring true stories.
3
Fotostrap is one of the only camera accessories on the market to offer the option of a monogram! Make your Fotostrap personal by adding text, a short phrase, initials, a traditional monogram, or even a business logo to the leather shoulder pad that comes with the Fotostrap.
Fotolanthropy began in 2011 when professional photographer Katie Norris desired to find a philanthropic way to give back to others with the gift of photography. She wanted to focus on what the art of photography is really all about, which is documenting life stories. The Mission of Fotolanthropy is to capture and share inspiring true stories of people who have overcome adversity through photography and film. Fotolanthropy seeks to be a hub of inspiration for all through the power of storytelling. With each story, Fotolanthropy gives the recipient a portrait session, a slideshow to music and the digital images, as a platform for them to share their story.

Fotostrap takes pride in purchasing quality materials and manufacturing the Fotostrap from start to finish entirely in the USA.
HIBISCUS
GOLDEN
This vintage inspired camera strap was designed to compliment today’s styles and trends. This fashionable camera accessory is offered in a variety of different colors and patterns in order to empower the photographer or enthusiast to further represent their brand or personality.

approaching every day. It’s stitched into the inside of every pair of Bombas

”A reminder that these socks are engineered and designed with
thought to bee better. A reminder that you helped someone in need
for a reason. It’s a reminder to push
with your purchase. And a reminder
yourself harder to be better at your
that we’re all connected and little
athletic pursuits.”

THEIR MOTTO ONE FOR ONE
Bee Better! That’s Bombas Socks motto! This company designs and sells athletic socks to help the homeless. They have a colorful selection of colors, and styles. For every pair of Bombas you purchase, they donate a pair to Hannah’s Socks. “Bombas are purposely built for athletic performance and designed for extreme leisure. Each section of a Bombas sock has been carefully created to improve on years of sock complacency in the industry. Each of the parts is great, and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. They have donated 50,000 pairs of socks so far!”

1
We partner with those who do not care about the social good side and are solely interested in the fashion. A percentage of each sale goes directly to the organizations we support.
2
We partner with generations of individuals who want to help others, but do not have the resource. We show them many organizations to be apart of.
3
We partner with organizations by providing them with free adverting. We promote the real needs that they might have monthly.
Founders “We want our company to be able to compete with high level street brands in the US as well as brands in the UK. We believe that by incorporating high fashion trends into a street wear level, we won’t only be ahead of the curve, but actually at some point, be setting new trends. We partner with non-profits all over the world, create unique and culture driven videos/stories and promote their organization on our website.”

FashionABLE We Create Jobs For Women!
AFRICA Empowering Women
1
Each product is named for one of the heroic women we work with, and has a part of her story attached.
2
Images of young women roaming the streets for income motivated us to start fashionABLE. As we diversify the ways we work with women, this core business continues to grow.
Their Mission Live Fashionable employes local African women to make scarves, leather goods and home items. The fashionABLE mission is to create sustainable business for Africans so they aren’t dependent upon charity, but instead earn the dignity of a job. We offer opportunity to everyone, with a primary focus on empowering women. When we invest in a woman, statistics demonstrate that she will have a life-changing impact on her family and community and herself.

THE BEGINNINGS
EDEN
Heavy weight, traditional Ethiopian pattern
While living in Ethiopia, Barrett and his wife Rachel saw firsthand how extreme poverty forced so many young girls and women to make awful choices for money. When speaking to these women, they told him they wanted an opportunity to earn a living, not to be given charity, so he created a business that would give them a job. By providing jobs, the fashionABLE approach has changed how people think about solving extreme poverty. We work to strengthen new partners who have fair wage and hiring practices for women. By strengthening those businesses, we use economic leverage to promote social change.

My name is Clarissa Natasha Fletcher. I love designing, learning, helping and shopping! I love when people share the things that inspire them the most. In 2011, I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art. Today, I have a Master’s Degree in Digital Media Studies from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. This magazine is called Good Mood Shopper. I decided to start this magazine because after designing a non-profit organization Infographic, I wanted to learn more about other causes like this. There are so many good causes out there that give back to communities. However, many people aren’t
aware of them. I was one of those people! That’s why I founded Good Mood Shopper. Many people all around the world are living in poverty and lack. However, today we can fight this by supporting good causes! The mission for this magazine is to confront poverty and bring awareness to good people and companies. The purpose for this digital magazine is to spotlight good companies.

UNLOCK HOPE AFRICA
I
n Uganda children often wear a key on a string around their neck. They each have a small lock box to hold all of their belongings. On their school uniform they are required to wear a patch with a crest identifying which school they attend. We based one of our shirt designs off of these patches. Each school has a motto and we borrowed one that says “Be known for good work.� When you wear your shirt or necklace you can think of the young girls in Africa who are wearing theirs and be reminded of the difference you are making.

Unlock Hope For Our Girls We have partner with Think Humanity, an organization that runs a hostel in Hoima, Uganda for young refugee girls from all across Africa, many of whom are orphaned.
MISSION Unlock Hope provides hope for young girls in Uganda. In Uganda, young girls aren’t given the same chances as boys. Without access to education they often marry young, have large families that they are unable to care for, and are forced to work difficult jobs for very little pay. We believe educating these girls is the first step in ending a seemingly never ending cycle of poverty in Africa. We have partner with Think Humanity, an organization that runs a hostel in Hoima, Uganda for young refugee girls from all across Africa, many of whom are orphaned. By providing them with quality healthcare, good food to eat and a safe place to live they are enabling them to get an education.
