Creating meaningful opportunities through everyday goods.
Elevate's story started in the heart of Kolkata, India. Newly married with a passion to help others where great need was known, Jessica and Brandon Hotz moved half way around the world to begin a journey they'd never forget.
Here Jessica and Brandon organically met the artisans behind each and every Elevate product. The gentlemen spent evenings dreaming of the day when they could send their own kids to school and sustainably impact a community for the better!
That's when co-founders Jess and Brandon realized that the best way to help others, is to empower them through sustainable business. So they said, "yes" to helping these guys kick-start their own dreams and so began Elevate Global. (A registered 501c(3) that reinvests its profits into creating opportunities for people around the world.)
Once Elevate was born, the non-profits donations were able to provide the initial tooling, materials, and the first batch of leather the artisans needed to succeed! (All while maintaining the highest standards in ethically and responsibly sourced leather.)
On the state's side, Elevate started selling the artisans first bracelets at local night markets in Kearney, Nebraska.
Now Elevate wholesales in over 50 boutiques across the U.S. and sells directly online at elevatepeople.com specializing in women's bags, wallets and accessories.
Striving to provide our customers a meaningful experience through quality products, excellent customer service, and responsibly sourced good - we know you're going to cherish Elevate's full-grain leather for years to come!
So stick around, take a peek. You might just find something unexpectedly.
