We live in a world where so many of us are bombarded on a daily basis with the latest articles and trends available in the industry of fast fashion.
It's so easy, the item we want at only a click away...
Larger businesses have been taking over the small ones, as factors such as prices, availability, wholesale volume, make it difficult for small shop/brand owners to compete...
However, consumers mindsets are changing and small business owners are adapting. Many of us might not be able to afford to rent out a physical shop, but the internet and social media have provided us an alternative space to share and sell our creations.
We are beginning to understand the importance of supporting small businesses. There is so much talent to be shared, and these local/small businesses allow for a more entrepreneurial mindset!
This blog post isn't just about us. The more locally your items are sourced from, the better! This will keep the economy in your community, allowing for reinvestment and growth.
However, when you can't find what you're looking for close by, buying from on-line small businesses are the next best option.
Purchasing fashion items that aren't mass produced leaves less of a carbon footprint, which is why it's become so important for us to create limited batches, and continue searching for more responsibly sourced and closer to home material sources!
Here at Charnela, all of our designs are created in limited batches, and every piece we make is as unique and unrepeatable as yourself, for every stone, shell and gem is differs in shape , texture, color, size... However we believe that this only adds to the magic in our treasures!!
We hope you have enjoyed your visit to Charnela Handmade Jewelry, and thank you so much for your time and attention so far.
With much love,
María and Fearn
