31 Bits


Have you heard of 31 Bits?

31 Bits began in 2008 when five college students from Southern California traveled to Uganda and met six amazing women. The girls saw there was a need for change: the women needed shelter, food, medication, school fees for their children, and the list continued…. The women attempted to provide for their families by creating hand-made jewelry, but due to the lack of market, their income was hardly sustainable. 31 Bits was formed when the girls knew they could make a difference; they had to do something to partner with their new friends. 31 Bits now works directly with the women in Uganda, enabling them to make a better life for their families by providing a market for their jewelry.

31 Bits has grown from partnering with 6 women to 35.

All the jewelry is made using recycled paper, they're unique in color, and they're gorgeous! Their new Elasticity line just became available.
