About US

We envision a world where every woman has dignity, value and a voice. We believe that through advocacy, empowerment, and employment, women who are marginalized and vulnerable can become confident. 

Our purpose is to create a space where empowered women can empower women through relationships. We promote the exchanging of cultures and the holistic development of every woman. We do this by teaching life, business, and language skills through the platform of designing and sewing "one-of-a-kind" purses, bags, and accessories using up-cycled materials.

We believe in sewing peace wherever we are and with whoever we connect with.

 
 
“Peace of Thread is proud to be recognized as a female-owned, global accessory brand built on relationships and quality work. Established in 2012 with a business plan to empower women, Peace of Thread has grown from pop-ups to selling products worldwide.”

OUR MISSION

 
 

The mission of Peace of Thread is to empower, employ, and advocate for women in vulnerable populations by producing hand made, high quality, one-of-a-kind purses, bags, and accessories using designer repurposed or up-cycled materials made in the U.S.A. 

Peace of Thread provides a job opportunity for women to work from home, meaning they can care for their families and make an income. Additionally, through employment with Peace of Thread, our artisans have access to counseling, free medical care, free ESL classes, job training, educational workshops and so much more. 

We are a mission-driven nonprofit committed to relationships, so we pair invested volunteers with each artisan to bridge the gap between cultures, transfer skills, build confidence, and affirm dignity and value.
