Hemline is one of our favorite new stores, or rather, Hemline is a beautiful team of 10 stores, and we love them all. They have invested deeply in the story of our Ugandan partners and are a force for hope throughout the Southern USA. Today their website features a great summer look combing Ember jewelry with HEMLINE clothes and TOMS Shoes. It was created by our very own fashionista intern Laura. Check it out!

Each transaction with Acholi Beads is part of the greater story of this business. We just returned from a trip up the coast to meet some of the faces behind those transactions and see the newest stores to carry our jewelry. Wonderful people, amazing places. Enjoy the visuals.

Winner of the Times x 20 Giveaway!

Turns out 20x someone’s order is a whole lot of jewelry. That’s what my friend Chum learned after he won our Times x 20 Giveaway! He got a package in the mail with $800 worth of handmade Acholi Beads jewelry. What’s he going to do with it? Follow him at http://twitter.com/chumdinger and ask!

Our Times x 20 promotion was an idea to show the impact of 20x anything, because each time we partner with a new Acholi woman, she improves the lives of 20 people around her. What does Times x 20 look like in beaded jewelry? You’ll have to ask Chum.

We’re always thinking of creative ways to bring the story of our Acholi partners home to America. Do have an idea? We’re all ears. Leave a comment or contact us.

[To choose the winner we took all the qualifying orders and numbered them, then chose a number using http://random.org/ Chum's number came up! Congratulations Chum!]
