Be Sweet sells creative products with a conscience. In addition to offering beautiful, unique scarves, clothing and home decor, they bring economic opportunities to struggling communities through job creation programs in South Africa.
For example, the Xhosa women in the Eastern cape who knit mohair scarves for Be Sweet are now able to support their families in this depressed rural region. These women are not only earning money, they are learning life empowering skills that help them improve the overall quality of their lives. Be Sweet helps to train and employ the women. They also provide funds for improvements to their workplace. Be Sweet gives back to the community, too, by donating a percentage of their profits from the scarves to the local schools.
But the company’s offerings are also chic and fashionable. You can choose from 15 styles of scarves, featuring luxurious textures, interesting trims and gorgeous colors.
The Yin & Yang Scarf pictured here in Lime & Chocolate is made from 100 percent baby mohair and comes in several color combinations. It is priced at only $68 and is available for purchase online at BeSweetProducts.com or retailers around the world.
In addition to scarves, Be Sweet also sells yarn, shawls, t-shirts, handbags, hats, jewelry, throws, ornaments and home decor.
