Here at EKOLUV, "We strive to encourage the use of organisations that aid in the development of people all over the world to create opportunity for themselves, thus creating better lives for themselves and their families".

We will donate 5% of EKOLUV’s net profits to our chosen charity organisation Opportunity International Australia. 

 

 

Microfinance is about providing people living in poverty with a hand up. Learn how you can create sustainable transformation in developing communities.

For mothers, poverty is a reality they know all too well. In developing countries, poverty can affect every aspect of a family’s life: mealtimes – struggling to find enough to eat; school days – not being able to give your children an education; bedtime – getting sick from sleeping on the cold floor because there’s no proper bed to sleep in.

Microfinance is all about providing people living in poverty with a hand up.

By providing small loans to families through Opportunity International Australia, you can help them leave poverty behind.

With a gift of $70 to buy a sewing machine or seeds to plant a vegetable farm, families are able to start their own business and transform their lives, their children’s futures and their communities.

And with 99% of loans repaid and recycled, more and more families are helped.

By giving families the tools they need to transform their lives, microfinance is a sustainable solution to poverty, creating a ripple effect that will continue for generations to come.

  • Small loans help families start their own small businesses and earn regular incomes
  • Savings accounts provide a secure way to save for the future
  • Microinsurance protects against emergencies
  • Remittances help families living apart access much-needed funds
  • Micropensions provide a form of livelihood in old age.

We at EKOLUV endeavour to ensure that all products we source are carried out in a manner that are consistent with Fair Trade and or environmentally accredited principles.

We are committed to providing the world access to Eco-luxury, vintage, sustainable, fair trade and overall ethical fashion & making them the everyday fashion wear of choice for the conscious consumer.  

We believe in creating & supporting opportunities for people in developing countries to benefit in an ethical and sustainable manner from the international market whilst being environmentally conscious of our practices. We do this through our choice to select/scource/support/promote and sell exceptional quality, stylish items either produced under accredited associations and or ethical practices and methods of sourcing. 

Our products are sourced from all over the world and in a variety of developing countries. We only encourage brands that use the highest quality, and or certified organic & ethically grown raw materials into their fashion wear. We consistantly strive to ensure that all our products 'in some way' leave a minimal carbon & water footprint.

We want to enable consumers to know the full “story” behind the products they are buying, that both
the planet and the people along the supply chain are treated with respect and dignity.

We know that regardless of what is percieved about fashionable people who crave style is that people do want to be part of the “solution” to poverty, social injustice and environmental degradation and in most cases will embrace opportunities to do so – but at the same time don’t want to compromise on 'quality' or 'style'.

More people today are becoming aware of the dangers of toxicity and the links to what we wear, ultimately having an affect on our bodies and we do not want to be clothed in fabrics that are 'harmful'; rather are free of chemicals and pesticides and the associated negative consequences.

EKOLUV aims to demonstrate that social and environmental integrity and profits can happily coexist. Ethics need not be compromised to be successful in the business world. We believe to be successful is to have a business founded on LOVE, LOVE for this earth and all it's beings.
