HOPE
Inspired by their then four-year-old son's gift of his clothing to a street boy in New Delhi, Gina and Greg Hope created HOPE, a clothing company based on the notion of global community and the true nature of giving and receiving. Employing 10 hill-tribe women in Thailand, HOPE keeps their designs fresh by fusing global inspirations into contemporary Western designs. As members of the Fair Trade Federation, their crisp and light garments radiate gentle beauty and the hope for fair treatment for all of the world's people.
