Foundry87 is a lifestyle brand that encourages readers to live a little more consciously without sacrificing style. It’s a place to discover something new, to be inspired, and, hopefully, create some change along the way.
At Foundry87, you’ll find artisans from around the world, brands that use ethical and sustainable business practices, and products that are kind to our earth. If you feel we are promoting brands that do not fit this criteria, please email Jen at jenniferedwardssmith{at} hotmail {dot} com. Together, we can make this world a little better than when we found it.
Jen has a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Communications from Stephens College. While in school, she completed two visual merchandising internships, one of which was at a local fair trade store, The Mustard Seed, in Columbia, Missouri. This is where she fell in love with the values and principles of Fair Trade and the direct impact it has on artisans all over the world. She went on to work as a fashion product developer for corporate fashion companies before transitioning to a career in graphic design.
Foundry87 was founded in 2014 as a passion project to inspire women to live a stylish life while being a conscious consumer.
