One of my favorite designers, Nicole Miller, has collaborated with the nonprofit Indego Africa to create a vibrant collection of fair-trade shorts and sarongs to complement the existing line of textile bangles and woven bracelets. If you’ve never heard of Indego Africa, it’s best described as a social enterprise that works with over 250 female artisans in Rwanda, Africa on a fair trade basis to help them establish business with high-end retailers and brands worldwide. The exclusive Nicole Miller limited edition collab items can be purchased online at www.nicolemiller.com and at the Nicole Miller Miami boutique (656 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL), retail from $25-$65, with 15% of the proceeds going directly to Indego Africa.
