For their latest collaboration Urban Outfitters has teamed up with socially conscious, LA-based fashion line Della . Della's founder Tina Tangalakis teamed up with a local entrepreneur in Ghana to begin Della, a socially responsible fashion line that provides jobs, education and skills training to women and men of Hohoe.
Della is socially responsible fashion line working directly with a community in Ghana, West Africa. Every product is carefully handcrafted using authentic textiles sourced in the Volta Region. The passionate, talented women and men who create the pieces are given an opportunity to build a foundation for a better life through jobs, education and skills training.
Every dollar earned at Della goes toward providing employment, education and financial stability for women and men in Ghana. Our employees receive a steady, fair income and are empowered through education via micro-financing, savings and entrepreneurship classes.
The exclusive diffusion line features eight styles crafted from traditional Ghanaian textiles including a printed bralette top, $44, printed shorts, $44, a printed romper, $54, printed bomber jackets, $69 and accessories including a woven headwrap, $24, a 5-panel hat, $29, a backpack, $49 and an iPad case, $42. Proceeds from the collaboration will go back to the local Ghanaian communities.
