Why Do We Exist…

We aren’t great at math but an equation best describes who we are,  PARATIVE = FREEING WOMEN OUT OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. It is the core and purpose of the business. It is what we base every decision off of, it is why we haul our kids with us to the post office multiple times a week, it is what gets us to bust our butts on this company.

Our Impact...

Currently we are partnered with Somerset in Mumbai, India. There are over 50 women employed with Somerset who used to be trafficked and are now experiencing above a living wages, healthcare, counseling, and community. Our flags are one of the first products the women learn and master upon joining the team at Somerset.

Why Flags…

In WW2 families hung flags to show their support for family members in the war. We thought flags would be the perfect way for people to show support towards the fight against human trafficking. Flags are also REALLY FREAKING COOL. We were sick of guilt purchasing for causes instead of finding really amazing quality products that were highly sought after. We wanted to design something that people loved whether it was made for a cause purpose or not. In our case though, human trafficking isn’t just the icing on top of every purchase, IT IS THE PURPOSE AND ONLY REASON WE EXIST. THIS FLAG MAY NOT CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT IT WILL CHANGE SOMEONE ELSE’S.

Our Commitment

We hold our family to the same standard we hold Parative. We work really hard as a family to shop for ethically sourced items with no slave labor. Rest assured this won’t be changing anytime soon… Nothing gets us more hyped than hearing about others shopping ethically. Holler at us if this is you! -Drew and Carolyn
