2) Mission of business.

My mission at Morganic Designs is to bring attention to the positive impacts of consciously crafted fashion, by remaining completely transparent about all aspects of how I operate my business.

We make art so you can wear it. We are uber inspired by originality and are here to help you be your you-est you.

We donate a “drop” of proceeds to Drop in the Bucket, which is an independent non-profit organization that provides sustainable solutions to the water crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa by building wells and sanitation systems.

4) What do you hope to get out of ReUP?
