Paper Crown | The Little Market

Page 9: Lauren Conrad

Paper Crown’s designs are a modern take on classic styles. Designed by Lauren Conrad, her focus is on fit and fabric quality for each item, creating a staple for the contemporary woman’s closet. Her debut collection launched in early 2011 and continues to thrive through Conrad’s love of fanciful design elements forcing the boundaries of everyday style. Much of her collection is composed of ultra romantic maxis, chic cocktail attire, menswear inspired pieces and tailored basics. Resulting is both effortless and youthful fashion, while maintaining a fresh and forward aesthetic with a feminine charm.

“Paper Crown is a collection for those who like to play dress up in a grown up world.”

Lauren and Hannah met in 2006 while studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and quickly learned that they shared a love of design, an interest in world cultures, and a passion for improving the lives of women.

Since then they have traveled together to El Salvador, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nepal, Tanzania, and Uganda. The Little Market was inspired by these trips, where they met disadvantaged yet highly talented artisan women struggling to support their families.

“The Little Market is a place where a global community can come together to combat poverty, empower communities, and create social justice.”

Page 11: Lauren Conrad

The Little Market was created by Lauren and Hannah to give artisans the opportunity to reach a broader audience and to give you the

opportunity to purchase special pieces while directly supporting the artisans

who made them.

The Mission:

“To build sustainable partnerships with artisans in developing countries, by connecting them with customers through an online marketplace. We seek to empower women artisans to rise above poverty and support their families.”

“Our handmade goods showcase the artisans’ traditional skills and their dedication to preserving their artisanal techniques. We source all of the artisans’ products ethically and practice fair trade principles. We acknowledge the interdependency of people around the world and our responsibility to help others.”

HandmadeAll of the pieces at The Little Market are handmade by artisans who are paid a living wage for their work. When you purchase fair trade goods, you are providing the artisans with the means to provide food, school fees, and medical visits for their families. Since the start of The Little Market, many groups of artisans have been able to hire back gifted artisans who had been laid off when there was not sufficient work.Handmade products take time and can only be ordered in limited quantities. Many times order may be sold out or backordered but will again ship soon.
