It's not often you meet someone like Dorothy Prochazka. She effuses exuberance and positivity that comes out in almost everything she does. As the curator and founder of the lifestyle blog Dorothy Pro, she explores everything from pregnancy to mommy and me outfits. Her sense of style is timeless, warm, and fun. We had the chance to collaborate with her a few weeks back, and here's what she told us about Sea & Grass bags.

As a mom, teacher, and Thai American, I wanted to improve lives through education. This desire to have a direct impact on Thai communities and for the same weavers who craft our bags gave birth to the Areeya Scholarship Fund with Sea & Grass. For every bag sold, a portion of our profits go to the Areeya Scholarship Fund. The fund benefits Thai weaver communities by providing financial means for young women and children to attend school.

For hundreds of years, traditional Thai society traded handmade goods and products back and forth as the foundation for a healthy economy. This tradition continues with skilled artisans who craft each Sea & Grass tote with learned perfection passed on from one generation to the next. 

The story behind who are the Sea & Grass bag weavers is one of Thai culture, nature, and love. All of which, we hope, becomes infused into every bag our weavers create.

In this article, we'll dive headfirst into why we need sustainable brands.

It can be challenging to talk about race. As a mom of biracial children, I struggle with knowing how to begin. I want them to grow up in a fair and just world. Yet Black families bear the burden of educating their children about racism. Every. Day. There is no choice for them. 

When it comes to sustainable fashion, sometimes people don't know what that means or even have the wrong idea. The concept, while understandable, is more complicated than you think. Also, when a company claims to be sustainable, you'll find questionable trading practices or even false claims.

As a sustainable fashion brand, we wanted to highlight other slow fashion brands with the same commitment to quality and ethics. First, let's look at what sustainable fashion is, and then we'll introduce you to brands we love and think you will too.

Seagrass is found in shallow, dark waters in many parts of the world. Most people assume it's seaweed or grass because of its surface similarities, but in fact, is quite different. Fashion conscious people buy woven seagrass totes, designer handbags, or rattan bags in Thailand and love the quality and naturalness but might not understand where the seagrass is found in nature.
