Alighieri

Introducing Alighieri, a unisex jewelry brand founded on the belief that there should be no limits to what women can achieve. Inspired by the incredible strength and stories of women encountered along her journey, founder Rosh Mahtani seeks to provide a platform for honesty and openness. Through partnerships with inspiring individuals and organizations like Refuge UK, Alighieri amplifies voices and supports causes close to their hearts. Thanks to the help of their clients, Alighiere has raised over £70,000 for Refuge UK, making a tangible difference in the lives of women and children survivors of domestic abuse. With a commitment to sharing stories and fostering collaboration within the fashion industry, Alighieri strives to create a lasting impact on women’s empowerment. We sat down with Rosh to get her take on the importance of empowering female voices.

For me, growing up there was always an undertone that women perhaps could not achieve the same goals as men… I always felt strongly that there should be no limits, that a woman could be both creative and entrepreneurial. Whilst Alighieri is completely unisex, I have met so many powerful and incredible women on my journey – clients who have shared amazing stories of strength. I continue to be inspired by the sheer force of female energy.

Alighieri is all about unlocking stories through objects, we create a space for women to have a voice – to be able to be honest and open, which is not always easy to do out in the world, as a woman. We love to partner with inspiring women, from Katy Hessel and her podcast – “The Great Women Artists”, to amazing sound healers, chefs, dancers and beyond. Partnering with Refuge – the U.K’s largest charity in support of survivors of domestic abuse, has also been a really special way to amplify the voices of women.

See what Johanna herself had to say about the importance of uplifting the untapped potential of women in vulnerable communities.

Growing up in Colombia, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by women in pursuing their dreams, particularly in male-dominated industries like fashion. This fueled my passion to create a brand that not only celebrates femininity but also empowers and provides opportunities for women to pursue their aspirations fearlessly.

Inspired by personal experiences and visionary female leadership, Noble Panacea recognizes the transformative impact of women’s mentorship and representation in traditionally male-dominated industries. Through initiatives like partnerships with Girl Up and STEM scholarships, the brand actively fosters science education and encourages young women to pursue careers in STEM fields. With a diverse team driving innovation, Noble Panacea believes in the power of inclusivity and collaboration to shape a brighter future for women in science and beyond. Hear what Co-founder and Global Head of Brand, Audrey Bois Nicolai, had to say about her experience in the field and the importance of women supporting women in science.

For me, as a woman, I initially found science and engineering less appealing, perceiving them as fields that lacked femininity and excitement. We need to change this perception.
Our brand’s evolution in this commitment is reflected in our determination to redefine the narrative around women in science.
