In Cape Town, Nadine Storyk became enamored of the mix of cultures and the gorgeous textiles created by women’s empowerment groups. She started Be Sweet to provide opportunities to these women and to create a sustainable tradition of crafts that can be carried on to the next generation.

The Company's accessories are made from eco-conscious materials such as mohair, bamboo and organic cotton and are hand-dyed with the highest quality, low-impact German dyes available and then hung to dry in the open air.

Be Sweet donates a portion of sales to a local school. As Nadine and Be Sweet demonstrate, "do good vis-a-vis the workers and the environment, and business success will follow.”
