Meet Our Team
The women who hand make our products, the women who design, and the women who share the story of our products, together make up who we are at Peace of Thread.
For us, empowering, employing, and advocating means putting the women first, providing a safe environment, providing a supplemental income, and providing educational and upskilling opportunities for the women to thrive and live out their full purpose.
