The gifts that go beyond the give.
This year has been the opposite of the roaring 20’s. But all that being said, this time at home has put a lot of power behind our dollars. With conscious consumerism at top of mind for the holidays, we wanted to share more about some of the names we stand behind. The Verticale Values help us and you get to know more about the missions behind the brands— and this week is all about giving back. So here are our top-picks known for their own give-back programs.
Know Headphones
A pair of Know Headphones will be unexpected and best-received. Their noise-cancelling tech combined with the hands-free interaction eases every current headphone frustration— and their matte color palette is everything. What we stand behind most is that for every pair of headphones bought, a portion of the profits go to donorschoose.org to support teachers in public schools who are working to shape the future.

Tortuga
Tortuga backpacks define the everyday traveler. With enough space to save you some cash for your next getaway, Tortuga makes it easy to stay organized without having to underpack. That being said, Tortuga wants to give everyone the opportunity to travel and explore— so they made a Study Abroad Scholarship fund— every purchase donates a portion of the profits to help students have access to life changing travel (when the world opens up again, of course).

Nisolo
Three cheers for a brand like Nisolo who is not only committed to ethical production from start to finish, but has also invested in the good of our future. Purchasing with Nisolo means a part of your sale goes to the Amazon River Basin to fight against climate change, and help micro-entrepreneurs dress for success. And never throw away old shoes again, instead give them to Nisolo who has partnered with Soles4Souls.
