Goodbye 2016, Hello 2017!

So long to yet another amazing year of achievements and beautiful moments. Where do we even begin to talk about how great 2016 was? We took some time to reflect over the holidays, wrapped up in our sarongs laying under a palm tree with the cool breeze watching our children laugh and play in harmony. There's so much joy in life to celebrate and truly so much to be grateful for and we want to continue living by our mantra of spreading love and giving back where we can. As we transition into a brand new year, we're so excited to see what 2017 has in store for us. We've got a bunch of goals we'd like to fulfill this year and it starts off with our very first big trade show we signed up in February 2017 in Los Angeles. That's right! 1WorldSarongs will be making an appearance at one of Los Angeles biggest trade show. We'll fill you in with more details when the dates get closer!

As you know, nothing makes us happier than to build a relationship with our customers and what more getting to connect in person. Our warehouse sale in 2016 gave us the chance to meet our customers and have real conversations. We feel so blessed to have the support from a bunch of great people we get to call our customers. It gives us the drive and motivation to carry on with our mission as a beach fashion apparel company that is conscious about the environment and humanity. As a sustainable focused fashion company, we do our best to be mindful about our decisions and take meaningful actions where we can. Looking back at what we've accomplished, we're happy to announce that we were able to expand our contribution to the following charities:

• Future for Children Munti Gunung (Check out how we've collaborated with them!)
• Bali Street Kids Project
• The Amanda Foundation
• The Orangutan Republic
• American Red Cross
• Surf Rider
• Solemen Indonesia
• Union of Concerned Scientist
• The Amazon Aid Foundation
• Oceana
• Rotary International
• Habilitat

From caring about our children who are the future generation to animal rights to aid for disasters to Mother Nature and beyond, our interest in humanity goes a long way. We highly recommend that you get to know more about these organizations and their cause. They are doing wonderful things to assist in making the world a better place. If you don't know yet, we make sure that a percentage of our profits go to those who needs them the most and so we'd like to thank our customers for helping us make this possible. They say that change should begin one's self and so little by little we hope to be the change we want to see in the world. If you know of any charities or organizations that we should collaborate with, please get in touch with us. Together we can work together towards a positive change. Every action matters and so please join us in our mission. Have a beautiful January!
