[LEXINGTON, KY] TO THE MARKET (TTM) is proud to announce it is kicking off Women’s History Month with the launch of a capsule collection, Global Good, at Kohl’s. This curated collection includes accessories, home goods, and greeting cards, all made with ethical and sustainable practices in a women-owned factory in India. TTM is committed to elevating opportunities for women globally. This marks another example of bringing that vision to life. TTM enables clients to quantify the impact of their sourcing decisions to highlight the critical need for more responsible sourcing and manufacturing practices. We are excited to share that this order created a total of 2,700 fair wage hours for this factory.

“This collection represents a wonderful example of authentic storytelling. The products are produced in a women-owned and operated factory by a certified women-owned business in honor of Women’s History Month.” shared Jane Mosbacher Morris, Founder and CEO at TO THE MARKET and conscious consumerism author.

The Global Good product line was designed by Chelsea Smeaton and Ermelinda Mendanha, two female artists at TTM - along with a team of talented freelancers including Bernie Dickson, Katie Hosier, and Julia Wollner. The design team was inspired by themes of self-love and women's empowerment, portrayed through bold and feminine design choices including colors, patterns, and illustrations. 

“Art is the visual representation of our voices, and Women’s History Month is a beautiful time to remember and acknowledge those who paved the way for us to have that voice be heard!” said freelance artist, Katie Hosier. “Now that I am a mother, it is even more important for me to inspire my daughter to emulate the women who laid the framework for us to succeed…”

“I think now more than ever we need to support each other, especially as artists so that we can spread a supportive and inclusive environment. As an artist and a woman, I appreciate what women before me have done to pave the way, which inspires me to keep going,” shared freelance artist Julia Wollner.

Products are now available for a limited time at select Kohl's stores nationwide and on Kohls.com.
