The Science & The Soul
The Science
ABLE has created a brand focused on uncompromising quality, and this is reflected in their manufacturing. Ethically sourced leather, cotton, wool, and other fiber blends make up their well curated collection of clothing, shoes, bags, and jewelry. ABLE’s artisans are trained to create and craft new, stylish designs, which are released monthly.
The Soul
ABLE’s mission to eliminate poverty by empowering women begins with their promise to provide their workers with a living wage, regardless of their location. After three years of meticulous development, ABLE implemented their ACCOUNTABLE program: a comprehensive system that evaluates ABLE’s manufacturing partners’ safety and equality practices and livable wage ethics.
Standing by their commitment to transparency, ABLE publishes a report of their lowest wages following these evaluations, so that they may always be held to the highest standard. It’s this standard that has come to define ABLE as one of today’s most beloved, trusted and formidable sustainable fashion brands – and as a leading voice for female empowerment around the world.
