We launched The Passionistas Project Pack in 2019, to spotlight women-owned businesses and female artisans who are following their passions. As we searched for products, we began to realize that many of the female entrepreneurs were using their platforms to do good for others. Many had founded charities. Others were donating a portion of their proceeds to philanthropic organizations. And some were ensuring the highest standards for laborers in the U.S. or abroad.
It is their generosity of spirit that inspired the theme for this box: PASSIONISTAS PAY IT FORWARD. In the spring box all of the items are created by women who give back in some way.
