Idk, Liz, I have to respectfully disagree on the necklace thing. It was $90 for the women funded by Nest. Nest provides microloans for women in developing countries who have families to support. This helps them to keep a roof over their head and food in their children's mouths. It also gives them a job in the fashion industry. If you go to http://shop.buildanest.com/collections/global-goods , you can see the objects specifically sold by the women they have helped.
I'm all about fair trade and giving women in developing countries a chance. If I had the money, I would definitely donate to this website. That's why I used to be so hardcore about shopping at Latitude Zero when it was in town. Sure, it was expensive, but it's going to women who sorely need it. Buuut that might be because I'm a dirty feminist.
