Taarik is an “innovative brand that connects consumers to artisans, by creating fashionable new designs using ancient artisanal techniques around the globe.” Their scarves are fashion forward while remaining true to the traditional process of design. You can read all about their process and artisans in both Ethiopia and India on their website. They partner with Project Ethiopia and Rural Development Foundation in India, both focusing their efforts on the education of young girls. Each scarf provides a school uniform, school supplies, and one year registration fee. Taarik is a beautiful example of slow fashion and connecting the consumer to the heartbeat behind the brand. Taarik says it best,  “empowering is our mission and fashion is our medium.” A truly cool brand with a beautiful heart to make a difference.
