Adele's Over the Rainbow Baskets is a local Calgary organization that works with families who have recently given birth to a child with Down syndrome. Krista is mom to Adele who has Down syndrome and together they set up visits with these families to provide, love, support and hope. Along with their visit they bring a  basket filled with goodies for these families as well as tools on how to navigate this journey they will be on. Often times these families are leaving the hospital with out any of these things. Krista and Adele have created over 50 baskets with the support of so many shops. We are proud to partner with her. Please visit her on Instagram at: @aperfectextrachromosome

All of our new goods are made ethically overseas. We work with a small scale family run manufacturer that adheres to strict ethical guidelines for all it's employees. We have carefully selected a company that ensures fair trade practices are in place and being met. Fair trade means that the people making our product have a safe working environment, are paid fairly, and have labour standards in place that make us proud to be their partners. We also speak directly to our makers which is a relationship we value greatly. Our makers use our designs that we have carefully created and that have been tested by moms. Along with this they use our prints that we have created in collaboration with a local Calgary graphic artist. Our manufacturer utilizes environmental saving measures by recycling materials from our goods and packaging as well as using water based dyes. Our goods are also made from remnants of fabric leftover by other companies that would otherwise that would be discarded. This fabric is in 100% perfect and usable condition. We are proud to keep these otherwise discarded fabric out of landfills and help our environment.
