We finally made it to @fairtradewinds in Ballard! It’s been a dream to get to visit one of their stores and it was so special to see their full display of our totes! Can you spot their custom city tote?! 🧐 Also fun fact, our co-founder @michelleforgood and their owner Sarah serve together on the @ftfederation board. 🫶 We love our retailers! taken in Fair Trade Winds by @thetoteproject

What better way to celebrate two decades of impact than with a collaboration rooted in creativity and community? 🕊️👜

We’re excited to partner with @thetoteproject on a limited-edition, Fair Trade tote featuring artwork by @haley.e.hughes, created for Nest’s 20th Anniversary merch collection.

The tote has officially launched today at thetoteproject.com (link in bio to grab yours!). Here’s to 20 years of supporting global artisans and craft to communities, and to carrying the work forward for the next 20.

A little color, a little kindness, and a whole lot of purpose. 🌈

We make everyday essentials a little more meaningful. 🫶 Ethically manufactured with Fairtrade organic cotton, our bags are designed to be loved for years, and we give back 10% of profits to support survivors of human trafficking.

Doing good looks good on you. ✨

Ethical fashion with receipts. 🧾

Through the Fair Trade Premium we pay to our manufacturing partner, workers vote to direct funds toward the needs that matter most to them and their families.

Our Fair Trade Premium has helped support:

✨ education scholarships for employees’ children
✨ ₹15,000 gift coupons for workers to use toward food, clothing + household needs
✨ projects shaped by worker needs, not assumptions

We believe sustainability should be about people, too.

Kinda chic to choose fair trade. Kinda chic to make sure the people behind the product benefit from it. 💅

Nothing in this backpack is getting replaced in January 🎒

Teachers will tell you that three quarters of what shows up on the first day of school is gone before winter break. They call it the January reset… because it happens every single year. The desk gets cleared, the backpack gets emptied, and you make another trip to buy the same things you already bought in August. Not this time…. 🙅‍♀️

Everything in our Back to School edit was made to outlast the school year, and the one after it. Not by accident, and not because your kid is careful with their things. Because it was built by people who assumed it would be dragged across a playground, shoved in a locker, and dropped on concrete. And designed it to survive all that and more. 💪
