a life.
Greenola Style started a personal dream of mine to impact the lives of a handful of women in Bolivia. As we head into our fourth year, this dream has evolved into a larger movement of impact and advancement to the lives of many women, their families, and now their communities.

This last year proved to be our biggest growth year, enabling us to accomplish much on the ground in Bolivia. We also expanded our production opportunities through new partnerships in Kenya. Greenola Style will continue to advance our artisan relationships through design innovation, business development, and access to quality healthcare*. Working directly with rural communities, individual artisans, and small cooperative groups can be challenging at times. However, we find this approach to have the most beneficial impact and validation for the need of fair trade to exist. When designing our Spring Line, we took inspiration from our continued need to express ourselves outwardly, in a bold, yet feminine way. Color continues to be on our minds, while contemporary, strong shapes define our design. -Jennifer Moran, Founder *A percentage of our profits support our partnership with SolidarityBridge.org, providing access to quality healthcare.

Planting seeds of change Our work in Bolivia has intensified as we continue to welcome new artisans into partnership. We are innovating and learning alongside them with new materials that are both earth-friendly, easily accessible, and offer a greater opportunity of growth to our community of artisans. Our Acai Seed Project utilizes a natural, indigenous material that offers up great opportunity to a new community of Bolivian artists.
