More Than a Bag. A Model for Change.
At Unshattered, every product we create tells a story of transformation. Handcrafted by women in recovery from addiction, our bags represent more than fashion. They represent futures. Through meaningful employment, job training, and a healing-centered workplace, women gain the tools they need to build sustainable lives of sobriety.
Our commitment to impact doesn’t stop with our team.
Sustainability at Every Step
We source our materials with intention: donated fabrics, reclaimed textiles and military uniforms upcycled that would otherwise end up in landfills. Our packaging is minimal. Our operations are designed to conserve water, reduce energy use, and care for the environment at every level.
From product design to the way we renovated our building, we’re always asking: How can we care for the earth while we serve people?
A Community Model, Rooted and Growing
Unshattered is proud to be operate in the Hudson Valley. We hire locally, bank locally, and partner with values-aligned organizations that support people and planet. We are proof that a small organization fueled by purpose can create lasting ripple effects in the lives of individuals, families, and communities.
This verification is more than a badge. It reflects who we are and what we stand for. We’re not here to chase trends or profit. We’re here to create real change. And we’re just getting started.
Thank you for being on this journey with us.
