GlobeIn: August Subscription Box – Laundry. This month’s unique and one of a kind package is the perfect assortment of goodies to start your graduates first year of college off right. The process of doing laundry for the first time away from home can often be a daunting one for college freshmen. However, with GlobeIn’s Laundry box your collegiate can saunter gleefully, and functionally, to the laundromat, basement, riverbank, or wherever it is their laundry journey takes them. Not to mention – each purchase supports Fair Trade and helps these artisans create a sustainable business and income.
The box includes a curated selection of Laundry essentials, including Wool Dryer Balls, ($15, for a set of 3), created by the Altyn Kol Women’s Cooperative in Kyrgyzstan, where wool is a way of life. Many of the women began crafting with wool to make shyrdaks, a traditional felt carpet. GlobeIn decided to approach the cooperative with a new wool challenge—dryer balls, loved by many Westerners as an alternative to chemical-laden dryer sheets. The women, most having never used a dryer before, marveled at the balls, and took great pride in the new crafting challenge.

Consumers engage with artisans and their stories from far away cultures and purchase unique handmade goods from around the world.
