Leave it to Sunny SoCal to take eco-friendliness to the next level. Kallie Dovel had goodness for the planet in mind when she launched her green [not literally] jewelry company 31 Bits. Kallie’s inspiration came from displaced women in Uganda who suffered the atrocities of the Lord’s Resistance Army there. These brave women artisans made beautiful beads out of recycled paper and then use them to make jewelry.
Utilizing fair trade and providing consistent income to people in forlorn distress is the most remarkable achievement. It also provides English lessons, finance, and vocational training to create a sustainable life for themselves beyond the jewelry company, as well as AIDS and health education, and access to community wellness groups.
Take this inspired socially progressive success model and add the flair of LA style and fashion. Dovel’s jewelry is marked with bold and brilliant hues and delicate stripes. Remarkably this trendy and stylish jewelry is made out of recycled paper. The pieces consisting of multiple beaded strands for their brightness and their statement-worthy density, the super-stylish wedding collection are show stoppers; don’t worry about getting married. Just bring a flash of colour and amazing design to amp up your LA style at a budget friendly price. Visit 31 Bits online.
