Women support Women: Fair Anita partners with 261 Fearless Inc


Group of women smiling together outdoors in an urban setting.

We are proud to announce our partnership with an extraordinary social enterprise that supports women around the globe: Fair Anita. The organization produces ethically-made and fashionable jewelry at affordable prices. With every piece you buy, you support women around the world in becoming empowered through economic independence and fair wages. Female artisans in Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, India and Vietnam learn how to handcraft the pieces and produce them for retail while working for fair wages. The project allows women to become financially independent, increase their value for the community, reduce domestic violence and support their families. With every piece you buy, you support these women!

We partnered up with Fair Anita because we believe that if we work together, we can make the impact on society even greater. Anna Bottila of Fair Anita describes the partnership:

“We are so thrilled to partner with 261 Fearless Inc. Their mission of empowering women, fostering female friendships, and building community around the globe closely aligns with our mission of investing in women. It is truly amazing what can happen when women choose to lift each other up!”

Be a game changer and support both organizations – 261 Fearless Inc. and Fair Anita – with your purchase: for every product you buy via the link below, 261 Fearless Inc. receives 15 % of your purchase. Your new piece of jewelry supports female artisans of Fair Anita and 261 Fearless Inc. in educating and empowering women through running. Thank you for making a difference in women’s lives!

Go to the shop and buy your Fair Anita jewelry.

Thank you so much for supporting women around the world!
