Fashion has always been a reflection of culture, and culture is the strongest articulation of identity. At Love Dot, we believe that what you buy exposes your connection to the world. As a retailer, we are committed to bringing the best high quality, sustainably made, artisan global brands onto one platform for you to discover and shop. As a brand, we work with global artisans to create our own limited edition items, designed in the U.S. and handcrafted in various places around the world. Regardless of where it's made, every item we sell has a story to tell.
Artisan: a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand. In a world where fast fashion is on trend, we are choosing to do things differently. That means respecting the time, energy, and craftsmanship that goes into making each pieces; and partnering only with brands and makers that reflect the fair-trade principles we stand for.
Spread a little global Goodwill. Giving back is at the core of how we operate. From the brands we sell employing hundreds of people in their respective regions, to the profits we share. In fact, 3% of our annual revenue is reinvested in artisan focused nonprofits, globally. Becoming a customer means becoming an investor in the future of small businesses around the globe.
