Balanced Soul Clothing & Accessories:  The inspiration for Balanced Soul Clothing and Accessories came about while travelling throughout India and was cemented once our very own Radhika Angie married and made her home in India. When we purchase products for our own store we purchase from the local market in Vrindavan, India, where Radhika makes her home. It can literally make the difference of whether or not those shopkeepers can feed their families that day. We also a support women's initiative project and causes that stay true to our intention of helping make the world a better place. Developed with the conscious consumer in mind. www.facebook.com/BalancedSoulClothingAndAccessories/timeline
