COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
KHH was created in response to mass produced commercial fashion. Intent on reintroducing handmade, quality products in limited production. KHH makes sustainable choices by using materials that are produced in a way that minimizes harm to the environment. Each piece is created by hand using a minimum of 80% repurposed leather.
GIVE BACK
10% of sales are contributed to Honor Native Land Tax.
The Honor Native Land Tax fundraises money in order to provide ongoing, no-strings-attached financial support to Indigenous organizations on Tiwa Land (also known as “New Mexico”). Specifically, HNLT is investing in Pueblo Action Alliance and The Red Nation. By redistributing resources from settlers (those who benefit from settler colonialism) to Indigenous people (those who are harmed by settler colonialism), the HNLT offers a chance for settlers to make an ongoing contribution to Indigenous movements for land, water, and futures. This is a cross-class project that allows people to contribute financially on a sliding scale basis. In doing so, settlers are able to move towards a right relationship with Indigenous peoples.
