More often than not, the offering veers towards handbags made from ring pulls that have washed up on a beach or hemp T-shirts printed with &#8220;Save the Planet&#8221; messages. So when a brand comes along with Scandinavian-designed \u00a0C\u00e9line-inspired silhouettes <em>und<\/em> a positive backstory, we cannot type fast enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Carcel is the brainchild of Copenhagen-based Veronica D\u2019Souza. D&#8217;Souza spent some time in Kenya visiting women&#8217;s prisons and was shocked to discover that the inmates were often poor woman who had been imprisoned, not for serious crimes, but minor offences, usually stemming from their poverty-related backgrounds. Most of them were already sewing everyday, but without support, and not making any money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Inspired by this, D&#8217;Souza then managed to set up a partnership with a Peruvian women&#8217;s prison where the workers get a fair wage for their work on the brand, and inside each garment, you will find the name of the woman who made it. \u00a0According to its\u00a0Kickstarter page, the number of women in prison in Peru has doubled the past 15 years. The brand says, &#8220;Peru has a long tradition for alpaca and knitwear. We use the fantastic expertise of these women and turn otherwise wasted time into skills and paid jobs so women in prison can support themselves and their children&#8221;. Fair and fashionable, what more would one want?<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/carcel2.jpg\" alt=\"carcel2\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The Brand&#8217;s Manifesto<\/h3>\n<p class=\"western\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41607\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/carcel3.jpg\" alt=\"carcel3\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fashion label with a conscience, that we actually want to wear <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41647,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[81],"tags":[7054,7055,1381,21,7056,7057,4743],"class_list":["post-41646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","tag-brand","tag-carcel","tag-ethical-fashion","tag-fashion","tag-peru","tag-prison-woman","tag-scandinavia"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Scandi Brand Empowering Woman Prisoners<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A fashion label with a conscience, that we actually want to wear\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/carcel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Scandi Brand Empowering Woman Prisoners\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A fashion label with a conscience, that we actually want to wear\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/carcel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-12-13T16:40:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1\u00a0Minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
