If you have been following and reading SocialBusiness.org for quite some time, you might know that we often cover new product and jewelry designs called Peacebomb, which is the first collection from ARTICLE 22. The Social Business team has never actually profiled the business itself. It's about time.
ARTICLE 22 was created by co-founders Elizabeth Suda and Camille Hautefort. Suda serves as creative director and Hautefort serves as social business development.
"Driven dually by design and development, ARTICLE 22 cultivates the untapped talents of artisans in forgotten or off-the-beaten-track places, promoting entrepreneurship and community development," they write on their website about their design ethos and social mission, a dual spirit. "As appropriate, additional giveback benefits a broader cause."
