Sustainable Business Model
We work with ethical designers committed to using ethically sourced, often local, natural materials in their creations. The Modern Sleek is fashion with a conscience, a designer style that doesn’t compromise your values. Our sustainable business model focuses on the following:
- Human Rights
- People’s Well-Being
- Equal Opportunities
- The Environment
- Respect for transparency and good business practices
Milulu Grass
Milulu grass is a reed that grows naturally in tropical wetlands and is woven into baskets using a traditional weaving technique in the village of Iringa, Tanzania. Milulu grass does not contribute to emissions. When the basket is first woven, the Milulu grass is greenish but will lighten and change to a more neutral tone over time.
Leather
The strap and wallet of our tote baskets are crafted from locally sourced leather, obtained from a local manufacturer. This leather ages gracefully over time while retaining its durability. To minimize waste, we cut the leather economically.
