“My dream is to create art works that inspire women to feel special and beautiful….” ~fani song
Here at Soul Flower we’re all about unique designs and eco-friendly materials and techniques. So when we found Fani, we found a soul mate for sure. She combines her love of art and nature into these fabulous pendant necklaces made from her favorite photos & recycled glass – these are our Into the Mystic Pendants. Handmade in Canada, Fani individually designs and handcrafts each piece using a cool technique that fuses a photo to the recycled glass. And they are very limited edition (she only makes 200 of each one, so you will want one before they are gone!). Be sure to check out the back of your pendant – it is even numbered and individually signed by the artist! So if you don’t already have one of these unique, eco-friendly pieces, be sure to check out the latest options available at Soul Flower. And because you took the time to meet our soul mate, you can get 30% off your necklace this week only – use the coupon code SOULMATE3 when you check out.

T-Shirts are such a big part of our wardrobe at Soul Flower. To make it to our shelves, our tees all go thru a cool printing process that gives them their Soul-Flower-Power. TS Designs is one of the printers who helps us out – they print our Love Your Mama, Treehugger & Wind Energy tees, to name a few. We have been working with TSDesigns and are excited to tell you about why. Or course, they deliver a sweet product. But it goes beyond just a cool tee, they are pioneers in sustainability steps in both their manufacturing & daily business practices. Really, these guys do it all.
They use water based printing (to avoid putting plastisols on your tees) and their own unique water based dyeing process called REHANCE. Their printing processes are much safer for the environment and human health since they don’t use PVC, phthalates, and no environmentally hazardous residues. The prints last longer and look better. And you won’t believe how great it all feels. We especially love using TS Designs for printing our infant & toddler tees – all organic cotton & all ecofriendly inks & all natural printing processes are so perfect for the babes.
That’s not all. (I know, it goes on!) – they are eco in almost every aspect of their business. They produce their own organic cotton T-shirts in North Carolina – promoting local manufacturing, social responsibility and local economies as well organic textiles. They use solar power at their factory. They have their own on grounds vegetable gardens, and a biodiesel coop as well. We love to see companies walking the talk. And making some super cool tees for us in the process. Learn more about TS Designs here.

Blog Image How do we put the SOUL in Soul Flower? When we first created Soul Flower, our name seemed the perfect combination of spirit and beauty. But did you know Soul Flower has a deeper meaning? Sure, the flower is easily defined – you can see it in the beautiful & lovely items we choose. But we want to spend some time telling you also about the Soul.
The soul of our goods is really important to us – we work hard to make sure that our products are being made in a fair way. We seek quality, raw materials that are in tune with mother earth. We ask hard questions of our partners & strive to find not just the most beautiful things but also the most thoughtful & ethically made items we can. We find small, local manufacturers to work with. Then we develop strong relationships with the people making our products – striving to not only make sure they are treated fairly but also to improve their livelihood and communities.
But to make this happen, we have awesome folks we work with – other artisans and designers who have followed a similar path in manufacturing their creations – and so for that reason, we want you to MEET OUR SOUL MATES. For each of these posts, we will introduce you to an artist, manufacturer or designer from Soul Flower & learn about their soulful practices. You will love their inspiring stories. Plus, we will feature a week-long sale on a few of their select creations on our site. So, meet…

By spreading a message of peace & positivity in our daily lives we hope to keep kindness always at the center of our thoughts and actions. And to really complete this message we choose organic cotton and other natural fibers whenever we can. Plus we print our tees in small batches right here in the USA.
Probably one of our most soulful choices in our creations is our use of organic cotton… a simple choice that can make a world of difference. Why?
Conventional cotton farming is one of the most damaging types of farming towards the environment. Producing cotton uses 25% of all insecticides in the world and 10% of all pesticides. It is second (corn is first) in the amount of chemicals used to produce it. It you buy just one t-shirt made from organic cotton, you are saving 1/3 a pound of synthetic fertilizers & pesticides from entering the environment. These chemicals damage soil so badly it can’t produce, harm animals in the vicinity, and ultimately contribute to global warming.
Natural and organic fiber clothing are processed with as few chemicals and harmful impact on the environment as possible. By purchasing natural and organic fiber clothing you support environmental causes & help to nourishes the earth and the lives of all people involved in the process of growing, manufacturing and distributing the clothing. Growing cotton organically takes skill. It takes time & patience. And, yes, it is more expensive. But worth it!
Soul Flower works hard to keep positive vibes going – and our tees are just one way we do that. We hope you enjoy wearing them. Peace.
