Before we begin, allow us to introduce ourselves and the ethos behind our work at Rover & Kin!
WHO?
Woman owned small business
Rover & Kin is a minority owned small business started by Wen Yan King (aka Rover #1). And by small, we mean we're a compact 2 person team, that is if you don't count the husband that helps out with anything needed!
Fair trade and ethical values
As an ethical business, we're proud to put people before profits and work towards a more just world. We are also members of the Fair Trade Federation, Sustainable Fashion Alliance, Nest and more.
Community and artisan oriented
Our artisan networks are the nucleus of the Rover & Kin family. Their work not only supports their families and communities but also sustains our business model of a fair trade partnership.
And you!
We are so thankful for YOU! Conscious consumers, our amazing retail partners, and the larger fair trade community - thank you for being here and being a part of this global network. We wouldn't be here writing this blog without your interest and continued support!
