The Brave Collection

http://www.thebravecollection.com

Our bracelets say “Klahan” (Klaa-han) which means “Brave” in “Khmer” (Khem-eye), the language of Cambodia. Inspired by the Bravery of sexual trafficking survivors, The Brave Collection was born out of a desire to wash away the taboo associations with such a sensitive subject matter, and create a catalyst for people to communicate about the reality of modern day slavery. Our team includes fair-trade Cambodian metalsmiths, New York tastemakers and LA hipsters. Together we can fight the wave of cruelty that is destroying the lives of women and children, from Phnom Penh to Manhattan.

LSTN Headphones

http://www.lstnheadphones.com/

For every pair of headphones purchased, LSTN gives the gift of hearing to a child in a deaf school. LSTN has partnered with global charities (including Sound Seekers) that provide hearing for the underprivileged. Taking mobile clinics to small villages, they custom fit hearing aids for children in deaf schools and treat them on the spot.  
Our unique wooden chambers are a huge contributor to the warm and natural sound of LSTN headphones – they produce much better resonance than plastic or metal. LSTN is also environmentally friendly – we aren't out chopping down trees to create our products. The wood we use for our headphones is upcycled - we reclaim exotic leftover scrap woods from furniture makers that would have been thrown in a landfill. All of the wood is legally harvested through licenses with local government.
