Summery, flirty design, rich colors, and a bold flower pattern mark our "Zoe" wrap dress as one of this season's must-haves. Made by women in Kathmandu and surrounding villages using dye made from bark, roots, and the leaves of plants native to the region of Nepal where the dresses are made, each garment is hand-sewn by a fair trade women's group in Nepal.

The group aims to improve the lives of its native artisans by empowering women to find a global market for their garments, and to improve the environment by using only certified organic cotton and 100% natural dyes. (These dyes mark a critical shift in garment dying and has significant implications for the Nepali ecosystem, as waste from synthetic dyes are the largest chemical pollutant of Nepal's rivers, and these metals are carried downstream through thousands of miles of Indian rivers, potentially affecting the health of millions.) "Zoe" means "life." Thoughtfully produced from seed to sewing machine with the welfare of people and the planet in mind, these garments truly live up to their name!

Created to help women worldwide gain economic security for themselves and their families by earning fair wages for their handiwork, Global Girlfriend sources women-made, fair-trade imported, eco-friendly products. By supporting long-term partnerships with the artisans, it fosters equal employment opportunities, healthy and safe working conditions, technical assistance, and development strategies to help reduce poverty, one community at a time. Become a "Global Girlfriend" and help build a brighter future for girlfriends around the globe!
