100% Biodegradable Natural Dental Floss

Flossing is important for overall oral hygiene. Most dentists will recommend flossing on a daily basis. Until now flossing also created a lot of useless plastic waste, here is a better option where you can add flossing to your daily oral care without harming the environment. Our floss dispenser is fully made of stainless steel, which means you can reuse for a long time and simply purchase the floss refills whenever needed. Besides the reusable floss dispenser, the floss refills are 100% bio based-plastic, derived from corn starch with a refreshing peppermint touch. This floss is suitable for vegans, but not fully compostable in your backyard compost.

Brazil

Jericoacoara is a virgin beach hidden behind the dunes of the west coast of Jijoca de Jericoacoara, Ceará, Brazil. 35 years ago, the area around Jericoacoara was declared an environmental protection area and became a Brazilian national park in 2002. This is where our knitters reside and lovingly ply their trade. Many of them do so using Portuguese knitting technique — a knitting style that involves attaching a hook or pin to the knitters shirt to run yarn through.  

This technique involves movements that are totally different from English or Continental knitting.

The tension of the yarn is always there owing to the hook or pin (some knitters even run the yarn behind their necks).  This results in a tight-knit into which artisans can pour their colorful creations.

Iraca Palms

There are multiple techniques used in weaving Iraca Palm. The coil technique takes the palm stalk and bundles about 6-7 pieces per row.  The Iraca Palm is then wrapped around them creating various colours and patterns. As the palm is wrapped around the leaf stalk the artisan begins to coil or create a circle with the material. To join the various layers together they use a needle, and with the same palm “sew” they put a stitch every few inches to hold the layers together.  There is also a wire frame technique by which the artisans weave the Iraca Palm around the wire creating intricate lace-like patterns . This is exceptionally detailed handwork passed down through generations and results in an absolutely beautiful item that is also functional and surprisingly sturdy.

Mochila Bags from the Colombian Wayuu

Known as the “people of the sun, sand, and wind,” the indigenous Wayúu tribe has lived in the semi-arid landscape of the remote La Guajira peninsula of Columbia for centuries.  Here the desert meets the Caribbean Sea at the northernmost point of South America and the vistas are incredible and the mind is free, and wanders. And so too with the amazing mochila bags, the Wayuu create. 

Delicately and painstakingly handwoven by the women of the Wayuu, these artful accessories tell stitched stories of each maker.  They evidence a tradition passed down for generations prior to colonial times where the maker literally weaves her own experiences, thoughts, and dreams into the bag as design elements.  No two bags are alike and no bag is ever truly recreated – each one an artisanal one-of-a-kind piece.

Moisturizer

Terracotta

With Terracotta, Alado explores the idea of ​​pausing, going back to the elemental, and examining the origins. Ceramic turns out to be a clarifying metaphor for exploring that idea since it is made of the four elements of nature: earth, water, air, and fire. Like soft clay, it evokes images of creation, formation, molding, craftsmanship, and skill; while being already fired clay it expresses delicacy, brightness, sonority, splendor, and fragility. Intuition materializes the intuition and the transforming spirit that resides in human nature.

The Knit Collection

Knitting and fiber arts have always been a central part of the Russian way of life. So much so that the goddess of ancient Slavs,Mokosh, was, in fact, a spinner woman. As a result, to this day, many Russian rituals and festivals are associated with yarn, weaving, and spinning. Traditional folk dress exhibiting fine artisanal knitting is still created by hand-worn for festivals.

In the case of Equal Hands, these techniques, and this openness to free form design have been uniquely translated to accessories.  We work with a number of independent women in Russia to bring you these exquisite creations - researching sustainable materials, modern hardware upgrades, and ancestral techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

Turkish women have produced weavings and textiles for thousands of years, expressing themselves through items that were and still are used not only as floor coverings, but also as protection from the cold, tents, and, indeed, dowries that they would take to their new homes when they were married.  

Vintage Kimono

In partnership with a native Japanese kimono historian, we’ve selected an Equal Hands revival assortment of some of the most stylish kimonos you’ll ever see.  This vintage line consists of curating gently worn (we like to refer to them as previously loved) existing garments consistent with the Equal Hands esthetic.  Kimonos are mostly made from traditional bolts of luxurious fabrics known as tanmono - with the raw materials being silk, wool, and high thread count cotton. The fit is typically very consistent, roomy, and comfortable.  The design and prints, however, can vary and range from traditional idyllic Japanese themes to fabulous mod patterns.
