we believe Where there are people, you hear stories We tell, make up, twist, and forget. Where there are people, stories pop up. In one ear, out the other. But what we remember, are not the words. Not the wonderful sentences. But the acts behind them. A story that stays with you, is a story that does something. A beautiful story grabs you. Shakes you up. Leads the way. Lifts you up. We believe in the power of stories. In a world filled with fakes and plastic, beautiful stories keep us together. There’s no stopping them. A beautiful story shows that everything is possible. If you dare to start. If you just believe. If you persevere. And most importantly: if you aren’t afraid to adjust your plans. Let’s tell each other a story every day, a story that stays with you,

for all our makers We think every world citizen deserves a living wage. This means that you can buy food for your family, pay the rent, pay for healthcare, clothing, education, and transportation. Next to that, you have an amount of savings for when something unexpected happens. To take our wages to the next level, we are working towards a living wage plus that puts a focus on quality education for the children of our makers and financial literacy.
