We partnered with Conscious Life & Style because we share similar values and are so humbled that she gave an honest review of what she thinks about our brand and mission. She wrote a blog post called "A Million Elephants - The Brand Bringing New Life To Artisan Goods Decades After Destruction" and think if you want to learn more about us or how you could use one of our beautiful handwoven throws, you should check it out here!
One of my favourite parts of her blog is when she talks about our products that are made from recycled aluminum from bombs dropped in Laos and of course the beautiful photos she shared...
