Finding a company that aims to empower women by giving women in the US and around the world dignified jobs makes me feel good about holiday gifting this year. ABLE is a fashion company that creates quality pieces that are thoughtfully designed for everyday life. But ABLE is doing so much more. They provide high-quality jobs, living wages, and safe working conditions for the people making their pieces in the US and around the world.
For this review, I received a necklace and a T-shirt from ABLE. Both products are beautiful, quality, and perfect for gifting. In addition to their clothing and jewelry lines, they also offer leather goods and shoes. While all ABLE pieces are created with a level of quality, versatility, and impact that anyone would be proud to have in their wardrobe, the items I received are from their ABLE Signatures collection. This is a collection of prominent pieces that ABLE wants us to find ourselves coming back to again and again; pieces that feel like you are wearing the ABLE mission.
ABLE Gloria Graphic Tee in black
This buttery soft graphic tee will surely be a staple in my wardrobe. The modern tiger design on the front is interesting and unique. The tiger illustration represents India, the country where the shirt is produced. There also is an iris between the two tigers in honor of Tennessee, where the ABLE headquarters is located.
Details:
- 100% Classic Cotton Jersey
- Fixed cuffed sleeve
- Relaxed, slouchy fit
- Scoop neck
- Made in India
ABLE is also a size-inclusive brand, which I love. I am a curvy girl, so I was so happy to see that they had so many beautiful clothing choices that would fit me! This is another way in which ABLE empowers women by giving them quality clothing in their size.
One of my favorite features of this shirt is the fixed cuffed sleeve. It is a small detail, but it adds so much interest and functionality to the shirt. I always roll my sleeves up, so to have it already cuffed is a lovely addition. I also cannot say enough about how soft this shirt is. It feels like your favorite shirt that has been washed numerous times and is worn in…. just the right amount. It is very impressive.
ABLE Letter Necklace
I also received a beautiful gold necklace with two letter charms. I chose my initial and my husband’s initial. After 31 years of marriage, I am still proud to wear his initial around my neck!
ABLE’s Letter Necklace is a modern and fresh take on a charm necklace. The charms are 8mm vermeil, and the necklace is a very dainty 18″ gold-filled chain. If you want to order your own, you can choose up to six-letter charms. Their website is full of wonderful jewelry choices. There really is something for everyone, but I so happy with my choice.
ABLE’s goal to empower women is clear on the back of the necklace packaging. It shows that my necklace was handmade by Nina in Nashville. This small added detail makes me feel a connection to my piece of jewelry. I know exactly who made it and where she made it. I also know that Nina was treated fairly by the ABLE company when she was creating this lovely piece of jewelry.
My Thoughts
I am very pleased that I was introduced to the ABLE brand through doing this review. Their mission to empower women is close to my heart. Giving women a fair chance, especially in the workplace, is essential to our future and the future of our children (especially girls!). The ABLE brand has a staff in their Nashville office that is made up of 96% women.
In addition, they work with manufacturers all around the world that are owned or operated by women. In choosing their manufacturers, they look at not only the quality of their products but also at their wage levels and their care for women in the workplace. ABLE is working towards living wages in all of its manufacturing locations and improving its auditing standards to ensure that all of its facilities continue to align with ABLE’s values.
The products I received are high-quality and beautiful, and I am proud to wear them. This holiday season, if you choose to give a gift from the ABLE site, you are helping to empower women and giving a gift that any woman would love to receive.
