Did you know that a significant majority of the world's garment workers are women? Despite their pivotal role, these women often grapple with persistent challenges—ranging from underpayment and excessive work hours to mistreatment and harassment throughout the fashion supply chain. An eye-opener, isn't it? But here's the twist: your choices as a discerning consumer wield remarkable influence.
Meet Randi Barry—a brand that not only offers stylish garments but also champions a cause.

What's more, the fabrics used, such as natural and biodegradable cotton, linen, silk, as well as recycled materials, reflect a commitment to sustainability and responsible fashion.
Now, let's tackle the stark reality of fashion waste. Did you know that the average U.S. consumer discards a staggering 81.5 pounds of clothing each year? This contributes to an estimated 11.3 million tons of textile waste, a whopping 85% of all textiles, ending up in landfills annually. Enter Randi Barry's 'Capsule Collection'—a strategic response to this environmental challenge. These pieces aren't just garments; they're a thoughtful curation meant to be mixed and matched, forming timeless, staple items in your wardrobe.
