The Tesoro Collection, featuring exclusives styles by Natalie Simkins, celebrates the effortless elegance of the Amalfi Coast and the French Riviera. Inspired by the global woman, each piece showcases artisanal craftsmanship and is thoughtfully created using upcycled materials sourced from Australia, Africa, and Europe.
“Bahari” means sea in Swahili—a powerful symbol of how these women, like the sea, sustain life in their communities. Inspired by the proverb, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime,” this collection represents lasting empowerment. Every purchase creates jobs for women and fuels generational change.
