Meet Me Monday: Nakate Fashion

At Gladys Magazine, we are always searching for the hot, new fashion of the season. This Monday, we want to share a special jewelery designer with you… Nakate!

Nakate is founded by Shanley Knox. Knox spent an extended period of time reporting on AIDS in Kakooge, Uganda and because of this, the company designs feature boldly colored pieces imported from Kagooge, along with hand-crafted additions from Portland based designers Andrea Angell and Jamieson Diemer and California designer Selena Martino. Nakate’s jewelery is primarily comprised of eco-friendly materials.

This Portland based company supports female artisans in the third world through buying their goods at a rate higher than the market price. By doing this, they hope to help bring attention to cultural, religious, and economic issues effecting women.

Nakate released its first line in January 2011, and they have released four unique lines this fall! For more information, check out their website at nakateproject.com. You can go to their boutiques in Portland, Sacramento and Los Angeles.
