In a powerful feature titled “Empowerment in Every Stitch,” Luvly Magazine highlights the inspiring mission of Neococo Collective, a women-led organization based in Los Angeles that is transforming the lives of displaced women through creativity, community, and economic opportunity.
Neococo Collective confronts one of the most urgent global challenges—displacement—by providing refugee, immigrant, and otherwise displaced women with a real pathway to stability and independence. As Luvly Magazine explains, Neococo operates from a simple but profound belief: when women are given tools, training, and trust, they can rebuild their lives with strength and dignity. Every product created under the Neococo name tells a story of resilience, courage, and new beginnings.
At the heart of Neococo’s impact is its commitment to designing for dignity, offering trauma-informed, culturally rooted programs in textile arts. Women receive hands-on training in embroidery, knitting, crochet, and weaving—skills that empower them to create apparel, accessories, baby goods, and home décor pieces that carry both artistry and meaning. Each purchase directly supports these artisans as they work toward self-sufficiency and leadership within their communities.
The feature highlights Neococo Collective’s multi-layered support system, including:
-
The Neococo Empowerment Program — a paid training and employment pathway that offers flexible work, family support, and language accommodations.
-
The Neococo Funding Program — a micro-grant and coaching initiative that equips women with business skills to launch their own ventures.
-
Wraparound Services — childcare, financial coaching, language classes, and ongoing support that meet women exactly where they are in their resettlement journey.
Founded by Amrita Thadani, Neococo partners with key humanitarian organizations such as the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the Program for Torture Victims (PTV), strengthening its reach and deepening its impact.
As Luvly Magazine beautifully captures, Neococo is more than a brand—it is a community where women reclaim their narratives, build confidence, and transform their futures. Through its innovative blend of creativity and social justice, Neococo Collective stands as a powerful model of Design for Good, proving that purpose-driven work can stitch together opportunity, hope, and lasting change.
