“We’re looking forward to turning Adiree.com into a premium fashion destination for conscious shopping. To me, shopping consciously means empowering consumers to know the story and the origin behind their purchases. Our platform provides that by first, curating designers with authentic culturally influenced stories and/or tied to social impact. As important, is to provide a home where brands from the continent and emerging markets globally can have access to consumers who care about authenticity and purpose, just as much as they care about looking good. ” – Adiat Disu, Founder of Adiree PR & Communications.
