EVERY THREE MONTHS WE MAKE SURE TO SUPPORT A CAUSE THAT'S DEAR TO US. SO HERE'S A LIST OF CAUSES AND CHARITIES WE'VE SUPPORTED AND ARE PLANNING ON SUPPORTING IN 2020. THIS LIST WILL BE ONGOING, SO WE'LL BE UPDATING IT EVERY THREE MONTHS.
DECEMBER 2019 & JANUARY 2020 - WE DONATED 10% AND 50% RESPECTIVELY OF OUR PROFIT TO WIRES TO HELP THEM FIGHT THE MONSTROUS WILD FIRES RAGING THAT KILLED 30% OF THE KOALA POPULATION.
JUNE 2020 - WE ARE GOING TO DONATE 15% OF OUR PROFIT TO THE OFFICIAL GEORGE FLOYD MEMORIAL FUND TO HELP THE INJUSTICE AND SUPPORT THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT.

STAY TUNED THOUGH, CAUSE HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT ALL.
WOMEN-OWNED
OUR PIECES ARE MANUFACTURED IN SMALL PRODUCTION STUDIOS IN NORTH MACEDONIA BY WOMEN SINGLE PARENTS AND WOMEN MICRO ENTREPRENEURS. EVERY ITEM PURCHASED CONTRIBUTES TO THEIR WELFARE AND HELPS THEM EDUCATE AND RAISE THEIR CHILDREN IN A COUNTRY WHERE THEIR AVERAGE MONTHLY INCOME IS ONLY 300EUR. BY SUPPORTING THIS LOCAL COMMUNITY, WE AIM TO HELP THESE WOMEN NOT JUST LIVE ABOVE THE POVERTY LINE, BUT ALSO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES.
MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE ONE WOMAN AT A TIME.
BECAUSE WE GIVE A DAMN!

Press coverage
""Select a made-to-order Wangari blazer ($219) by zero-waste clothing label Bastet Noir and you’ll get a custom jacket created with discarded materials (aka deadstock) made by a community of single mothers in North Macedonia. The entire profit then will be reinvested to fund the growth of women-owned businesses there and will support the education of the mothers’ offspring in a country where the average monthly income is less than $300.""
"Daniela Milosheska founded Bastet Noir to be a sustainable, zero-waste clothing label whose designs are made to order specifically to client measurements (and are still affordable). Their clothing items that are made from 100% cotton or linen will up your Zoom meeting game, but will offer the right amount of breathability the next time you travel somewhere with a warm climate. Be sure to look at their Lampe and Diane dresses, as well as the Pentha jumpsuit."

"I love when a dress mimics art, and that's definitely the case with this made-to-order sustainable dress from Bastet Noir. I love every aspect of how this dress is designed. From the adaptable bow straps and the semi-sweetheart neckline to the wraparound skirt, it's the dreamiest dress I've ever owned. - Jasmine Fox-Suliaman"
""This environmental-friendly brand creates custom-made clothing manufactured in Macedonia by women single parents and micro entrepreneurs. Its localized factories help to decrease the carbon footprint in the production and supply chain. “Changing our society for the better one woman at a time, because we give a damn!”, Bastet Noir structured a fund that allows customers to leave a tip that is donated directly to the studio where your clothes were made. We find this one of the more intriguing partnerships between customer and creators (because we give a damn!) ""
"Bastet Noir is a zero-waste, sustainable, and ethical brand that designs and produces pieces from discarded materials. The garments are sewed by a community of single parents, in North Macedonia, and the entire profit is invested in making the growth of these women and support their children with education."
"There’s no better feeling in the world than taking the time to sit down and reflect on what you’ve done in three years, who you’ve become and how you’ve evolved as a person. It’s the best feeling in the world, and that’s what makes the hard days durable and sometimes even annoyingly fun."
