How is my order packed?
At Wangari we strive to minimize our environmental footprint at every level, including packaging and transportations. We pack and ship our products without any unnecessary wrapping or air in paper based recyclable boxes. We work consistently to improve our routines to identify challenges and offer better solutions.
With our main production unit located in Hong Kong, we ship by boat unless special circumstances require other choices. The transportation chain requires reliable water-proof packaging. This means that our scarves sometimes will be wrapped in polybags made from 100% recycled materials when they arrive at your door, due to quality reasons and to minimize damages that will lead to unnecessary returns. Extra sensitive jewelry is protected in biodegradable packaging made with d2w-technology, which accelerates the natural process of oxidation when it is no longer in use, leaving the environment with no toxic residues and microplastics.
There is a Wangari-piece that I really like, but it´s sold out - will it come back in stock?
We're so happy you like our accessories, but unfortunately sold-out pieces won't be re-stocked since we´re dedicated to limited editions. Hopefully you will be able to find a similar favorite item in the store.
What is the history behind your name, Wangari?
Our name is an homage to the internationally renowned Kenyan activist, Wangari Maathai. In 1977, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement. An environmental non-governmental organization focused on the planting of trees, environmental conservation and women's rights. In 2004 she received the Nobel Peace Prize for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace. How can we not be inspired!
Am I able to find Wangari's scarves and jewelry in any physical stores?
Wangari Sthlm is founded as a direct-to-consumer brand, which means that we can offer our high-quality products at affordable prices through our digital channels. But we are always looking out for the right opportunities to increase our distribution and join physical retail points through exciting collaborations. All pop-up experiences and open houses at our showroom in Stockholm, are highlighted on our social media.
“Fashion for social change”, what do you mean by that?
There is a huge gap between what´s buzzin in social media, and the urgent needs for positive change in societies and environmental behaviors around the world. After 20 years in the marketing & sponsorship industry, we knew how hard it was for all the small but great problem-solving nonprofit organizations to get their messages out to the public. Larger organizations often get most of the big brand-collaborations, big funds and marketing resources, due to leverage potential. As we see it, our world is full of heroes working persistently to create measurable, positive change where the needs are endless. We are passionately committed to support these impactful projects and people.
Wangari Sthlm creates exclusive pieces with a purpose. Every collection is designed to highlight a cause, and each campaign carries a story for good. When you wear a piece from Wangari Sthlm, it´s a sophisticated statement that hope is never lost and no one is too small to make a difference.
How much do you donate to the nonprofit organizations?
The amount depends on the organization, project and size of the collection. When we enter a new collaboration we set up the structure for donations, as A) A defined amount per sold piece, or B) A fixed amount for the entire project. Until today, Wangari has supported nonprofit organizations such as The Wildhood Foundation, Ung Cancer, Tjejzonen, Mind and Ellas Hjältar with more than 120 000 SEK, and a PR-value of above 3MSEK.
