Travel “Beyond” with Sseko

At Sseko, we’re doing what we can to help you look Beyond the current crisis and witness women make the world a better place

I am excited to announce the launch of the Sseko Fall “Beyond” Collection launching today. at 11am PST.

Bring on darker shades, luxurious layers and all the patterned prints. The Fall 2020 'Beyond' Collection has a gorgeous array of versatile apparel pieces, stunning bags, handcrafted statement jewelry, and eye-catching footwear– You’re sure to find everything you need to complete your perfect fall wardrobe.

Because of the current climate, it is just Beyond incredible that Sseko was able to launch a collection this Fall. COVID-19 has hit the fashion industry hard and we all have seen stores closing and big, chain companies are cancelling orders. Fashion industry workers are not getting paid for work they’ve already done. The workers who are most vulnerable are now even more so.

Sseko believes in a larger mission. We believe that it’s not always about the bottom line, but by building a business together, and being true to all of the employees, we create a model that works and supports everyone. At Sseko, many of our pieces are being made by women employed by Sseko, those that are not Sseko employees are part of the Fair Trade Movement. It is because of this collective ambition and commitment, our family isn’t just surviving - we’re thriving.

Our CEOs, Ben and Liz Bohannan are launching the collection LIVE on Facebook at 5pm PST. Let them explain just how much work went into launching this Collection during COVID and how Sseko is helping to keep the women who create these beautiful products in Uganda, Ethiopia and India safe and employed during this global pandemic.

Facebook LIVE Launch with Liz & Ben

Something Sseko cannot predict is how quickly the items will sell out. Keeping our Sisters safe overseas during the pandemic means lower inventory and slower shipping. If there is something from the new collection you can’t live without, I would encourage you to click that “Purchase” button quickly!

If that “can’t live without” item is a struggle financially, you can schedule a Facebook Trunk Show with me and I’m sure your friends would love to get together on a Zoom party with a little wine and their credit cards. You could earn those big ticket wish list items quickly. Contact me for details ….

In the meantime, I will be getting ready to click my own “Purchase” button for the things I can’t live without and provide a little support to my Sseko Sisters globally.

A few things to point out:

“Like a Girl” black tee is back with limited quantities in sizes 2-20.
The new “Say Yes to Adventure” tee is our latest t-shirt in a beautiful wine color.
The Kawa print is back by popular demand in gorgeous bags, clothing and accessories.
We’re introducing the short black kaftan for those extra COVID pounds to wear for all your holiday gatherings, but also to show off those gorgeous legs! Add a little heel or sandals and your favorite bling and you’re ready for anything.

Spring/Summer 2020 Collection

“Like a Girl” is a Compliment

I’ve posted quite a bit over the last year about this tee-shirt and this particular saying. The reaction I’ve received from men and women everywhere has been inspiring and long after it sold out in white, I’ve had to tell others to watch my Sseko site for a re-release. Well guess what my lovely people, its coming back even better than before, in black!

My white tee has been to other countries, over jeans and skirts, to work and to play, dressed up and dressed down because no matter where it goes, it’s giving life to an amazing truth. Girls are amazing and we can do anything.

We have all shopped online for tee-shirts and I’ve come up short with an ill-fitting and stiff tee more than I’ve been lucky. What I’m telling you now, being as picky as I am, is that this shirt is truly perfect. V-neck. Soft. Boxy and washes like a champ.

It’s going to sell out quickly, so you’d better get that reminder on your phone now … shop my Sseko site after January 28th.

A few of my favorite things …

For the Spring 2020 “Hopefully Yours” Collection, we traveled the world in search of the most stunning materials and the most beautiful stories. We shot this catalog in Joshua Tree National Park as the Joshua Tree is a symbol of faith, hope and resilience in the midst of harsh conditions. Our Oiled Agave leather is a celebration of the sweetness that can be found in the struggle. The rainbow stripes are a call to believe that storms bring unparalleled beauty. And our stunning mixed metallic leather is a reminder that sometimes the reward is not just on the other side of the struggle, but in who you become when you dare to hope.In this collection you’ll find more artistry and artisanal excellence than ever. From handcrafted legacy leather goods to handwoven and block printed textiles, each piece in this collection is truly something to be treasured and celebrated. Just like you. We promise these pieces will become treasured items in your collection, telling not just a story of your personal style but of hope, resilience and belief.
