be sweet
creative products with a conscience
2013 WINTER COLLECTION
Beauty. Creativity.
Be Sweet brings socially and environmentally friendly products to fashionable consumers.
Products that evoke an individual style and help support community development around
the world. The collection includes hand knit scarves, shawls, hats, cardigans, and more.
Resourcefulness.
Be Sweet began when Nadine Curtis lived in Cape Town, South Africa and was inspired to
work with job creation programs that give artisans the confidence and the means to support
themselves and their families in an otherwise economically depressed region. The programs
have grown to include over 200 crafters, comprised of mostly female members of the Xhosa
Tribe who live in the Western and Eastern Cape regions. The employment is based on
learning new marketable skills, sustainable growth, fair wages, and enjoyment.
Be Sweet donates a portion of its profits to a non-profit educational support program in Cape Town called Bright
Start and the Shaw Park School, a primary and secondary school in the Eastern Cape where many of the mohair
group participants’ children attend.
