International Women’s Day, celebrated annually on 8th March, holds a significant place in our collective calendar. Originally proposed in 1910 by Clara Zetkin, the leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany. The inaugural International Women’s Day took place in 1911 and was initially observed in Germany, Austria, Denmark, and Switzerland. And in 1914 8th of March was formally adopted as the official date, later gaining recognition by the United Nations in 1975, amidst the second wave of feminism.

From those beginnings, Lisa Angel embarked on an upward trajectory, starting with appearances at local maker markets and craft fairs and gradually expanding to establish two physical shops alongside a thriving global e-commerce platform.
