The Campaign - See GALLERY for IMAGES !

I am Kesi Gibson and I am the CEO and founder of Kyu Melange -  a purpose-driven fashion company dedicated to empowering artisans in tangible ways throughout the manufacturing process. We are raising $50,000 to kick start the production cycle for Kyu Melange 2015 Spring Summer collection.

The Production Process 

All our products are hand-crafted and our curated fabrics are hand-woven and hand-dyed by women in emerging countries.  Our sourcing is modeled to ensure that as Kyu Melange flourishes, so will the ambitions of creative professionals, many of whom are women in emerging countries, who form a key part of our supply chain and production model. 

The Inspiration 

My mom was a designer. I was deeply influenced by her life and craftsmanship. I worked closely with her growing up, and remember always being in awe of her unending creativity. The essence of Kyu Mélange is a dynamic reflection of my personal and professional journey, experience in business, design talent; and above all my deep appreciation for art and contemplation of humanity.

Women in emerging economies make a huge but often understated contribution to the fashion industry. Many artisans, despite their passion and talent, would never dare to dream beyond their financial and societal limitations. Through Kyu Melange, I’ve set out to change this.  

Join our movement. Join our community. Pledge Today.

Other Ways You Can Help 

If you do not have the financial capacity to pledge right away, no problem. You can support us by joining (Liking) our community on facebook.com/kyumelange and @KyuMelange on Instagram / Twitter. Please also share the campaign and encourage others to share it as well.
