We recently introduced our new signature tee to rave reviews. Check out what our customers are saying:

“I feel socially conscious and hip
wearing this new design in organic cotton,”
says Amy.

“The contrasts in the design remind me
of the contrasts that I saw
throughout South Africa on my
first visit” says Natalie.

This year, we asked local graphic artist Diana Westendorf to give us her perspective of life in South Africa. Her artistic interpretation of the harshness and the beauty of the country is nothing short of amazing.

The 2008 tee is “river blue” with a washed-out image. Blended subtly into the image is the message “Give Hope”. The short-sleeved tees are made of 100% pre-shrunk organic cotton and are fashion cut for ladies.

My girlfriend, Debba, is an entrepreneur and the founder of Girlfriendology.com, a website dedicated to the inspiration, celebration and appreciation of female friendships.

Debba started Girlfriendology.com in response to being so blessed with great girlfriends. Through research and reading, she learned that this need for girlfriends was biological. Women have a true need to have community with each other. In fact, in the book The Tending Instinct by Shelley Taylor, it is shown how we “tend and befriend” as a natural part of our DNA.

Recently it dawned on Debba and me that we both are trying to do the same thing: honor and nurture the natural connection between women. Whether it’s grabbing a quick cup of coffee and catching up with a girlfriend or connecting with a woman across the globe through the purchase of a piece of her beadwork, we all “tend and befriend”, woman to woman.

Debba recently invited me to share a bit about my passion for Beaded Hope and women across the globe. Check out the YouTube video (and be sure to check out Girlfriendology.com!).

Beaded Hope announces the release of these fun new bangle bracelets! They are a modern interpretation of a traditional Zulu design. Multi-colored triangles are separated by a zig-zag design of black beads resulting in a unique design that can be paired with nearly any summer outfit!
