This
month, we are very excited about a new collaboration with the incredible Sharon
Luca-Chatha.
Sharon
owns an eco-friendly clothing brand called LK Eco Style, making
T-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts in organic cotton and recycled material.
She
describes the clothing as, ‘Kind, ethical and Earth-friendly. Organic and
eco-friendly; ethical and fair; vegan and cruelty-free’. The
hoodie, for example, is made from 85% Organic ring-spun Combed Cotton, and 15%
Recycled Polyester.
Sharon
has collaborated with us on a range of Mantra clothing, with each of our six bestselling
mantras being available on a T-shirt, hoodie or sweatshirt.
Always,
I rise
The
first one has just launched – it is ‘Always, I rise’, from our bestselling
Phoenix Necklace. This is by far our most popular mantra, so we felt it was the
right one to kick off with.
The
inspirational phrase, 'Always, I rise', is a defiant call-out to the world and
to yourself that you will not be weighed down by your cares and worries; that
you will not be defeated or despondent by what life throws at you. You will, in
fact, thrive; and always rise above everything, going onwards and upwards.
With
our jewellery, we chose the Phoenix to represent this strength and resilience,
as it is a bird born out of fire, that flourishes through the flames and has
the ability to resurrect itself. But we feel that the mantra also stands alone
and works as a powerful phrase, to remind yourself of your strength.
You
can choose a sweatshirt, T-shirt or hoodie in a range of colours, and you can
decide which colour you would like the mantra written in. Take a look at the
collaboration here.The second one, 'I celebrate the woman I am', is about to launch.

Luca
Foundation
Sharon
is also the Founder of a charity called the Luca Foundation, in memory of her
stillborn son, Luca. The charity aims to raise funds to buy ‘cuddle cots’ for
hospitals, which allow parents to spend more time with a stillborn child.
A
cuddle cot is a cooling mattress that stop a baby's body deteriorating, and can
be placed in a cot or even a pram. It allows parents to spend time with their
babies and bond with them, as it slows down the natural changes in the baby’s
body after death. Having the chance to see and hold their baby, take
photographs or hand and footprints, and spend more time with them can make an
enormous difference at a time of inconceivable grief and overwhelming sadness.
We
will be launching a Mantra necklace in partnership with the Luca Foundation in
March, with 25% of the funds going to the charity. Look out for news of this
charity collaboration, coming soon to our website and social media.
