The Coffee Sleeve Project
If you were lucky enough to attend this year's TED conference in Long Beach, you hopefully picked out one of the Raven + Lily coffee sleeves for your goody bag!
Raven + Lily Coffee Sleeves are hand-made by the women in Burundi, Africa using reversible patterns with traditional African print fabrics. 100% of the net proceeds from each coffee sleeve sold will benefit the women in this co-op.
If you own one of our coffee sleeves, we'd like to encourage you to look in your circle of influence, and see how you may be able to help us tell the story of these women:
- If you own a coffee company, we are looking for a retailer to carry these sleeves and encourage their customers to use this sleeve, instead of a paper throwaway. Each time the sleeve is used, they will be reminded of the women in Burundi and know their purchasing power is benefiting their lives as well as the environment.
- If you run a foundation, let's talk. We need financial investors to take us to the next level.
- If you own a retail store, we have many items in addition to our coffee sleeves that may be suitable for your store. Our products are all fair trade, handmade, and one-of-a-kind!
- If you have ideas or suggestions, we want to hear from you! Click here.

This is a world that Raven + Lily believes exists, and we are looking for the right partner to rock this message and work with us to help unify and justify a divided and unjust world. If you'd like to partner with Raven + Lily on The Coffee Sleeve Project or for more information, please contact us.
