Rebel x Kite Pride

We’ve teamed up with KitePride! A fashion social enterprise powered by Hope Center Israel. We have set out to create a collaboration of purpose driven products that not only look good but do good. With every purchase from this collaboration, 50% of profits will go directly toward Hope Center’s mission: rehabilitating survivors of sex trafficking as they take bold steps into a new life. Through safe employment, practical job readiness training, and long-term mentorship, Hope Center creates more than opportunity. It empowers survivors to create a future of their own.

WHO IS KITE PRIDE
KitePride is a fashion social enterprise with a bold, eco-conscious mission. Since 2018, they’ve upcycled over 23,000 square meters of retired kites, parachutes, and sails into unique, one-of-a-kind bags. At the same time, they have created more than 55,000 hours of safe, fair work, providing vulnerable individuals, many overcoming sex trafficking and exploitation, with dignified employment and a chance to rebuild their lives. Every bag tells two stories: sustainability and second chances.
OUR MISSION
The profits from our bags go directly to Hope Center and its parent organization, Global Act – nonprofits dedicated to providing meaningful employment for survivors of the cycle of prostitution. Since there is no private owner profiting from the brand, and all proceeds are directed toward social causes, we’ve always seen ourselves wearing two hats: as a social business driven by strong values and, at the same time, as a business that needs to be financially stable and profitable to generate income for these nonprofits. read more

Meet the Founders

KitePride, operating under the nonprofit Hope Center, is a story of transformation, a connection between contrasting worlds and different life perspectives. It’s proof that often, the most beautiful things emerge specifically from our differences.

Mati and Tabea, both born in Switzerland, grew up separately within a community in Papua New Guinea, in families dedicated to contributing to society. In this vastly different environment from their homeland, they learned the value of living with a commitment to change and how meaningful actions, even on a small scale, can create positive impact in the world. These early lessons, deeply ingrained in their hearts, paved the way for the unconventional path they chose to follow. finish reading the story
