To be socially conscious through the products we choose and the people we associate with is how we want to continue doing business. And it gives us immense joy when we work with with organisations such as @ahambhumika, @varnamcraftcollective and @auroville_papers, who through work they do and the beautiful products they make, support artisans, work to revive traditional craft forms, tackle social or environmental problems and in turn improve communities. We’re a proud supporter of the social enterprise sector, and a member of the national trade body, Social Enterprise UK. We share SEUK’s vision of a world where social enterprise is the usual way of doing business. ..... #socialgood #socialenterpriseuk #empoweringwomen #emproweringartisans #artisan #socialconsciousness #interiorproductswelove #interiorproducts #sustainability #sustainablehomedecor #sustainablestyle #sustainableliving (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHZ2l5_pD04/?igshid=1ag17dddritnd

#BUYSOCIAL

I grew up in a city that understands the importance of shopping and buying local - supporting the independent artisan rather than the corporate giant. It's a mentality that has stuck with me through the years and makes me feel good about the way I shop.

I live in a great bit of London that allows me to shop this way pretty much every day of the week and although it's sometimes difficult (and expensive), I try to practice it as often as possible.

Social Enterprise UK has an excellent campaign that they launched in late 2013 around a similar concept but focuses on buying from social enterprises. In case that term is a little alien to you, here`s a crash course - social enterprises are businesses who's profit strategy is to invest in individuals, communities, or the environment. Their purposes are to improve lives rather than to make bazillions of dollars for their shareholders. Awesome, right?

This past September, Social Enterprise UK launched their first #SocialSaturday - a day to celebrate and buy from social enterprises. They got some pretty great support from the Prime Minister as well as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, and from what I understand it was a success. With awareness growing about the importance of buying local and from socents, I'm looking forward to seeing what next year's Social Saturday brings. Check out their campaign video and website to see how you can better spend your money with one of the over 70,000 UK social enterprises. And for those of you in Canada - have a look here.
