Years ago, Heidi VanderWal (Chief Crown Officer) attended a woman’s event sponsored by a local church to create awareness for human trafficking. After realizing that girls were being sold right in her city, at her favorite malls, in local schools, and online, she became determined to help fight this injustice that was hitting so close to home. She dreamed even bigger, of a world where human trafficking didn’t exist at all. In January of 2014, the idea for Crowned Free, a clothing company that donated a portion of its profits to this cause, took shape.

Launched in 2015, Crowned Free’s mission is to end human trafficking through ethical fashion and gifts.  We source and create ethically made goods that support survivors of human trafficking.  We give back a portion of our profits to non profit organizations that support survivors of human trafficking in the USA and worldwide.   We provide jobs to survivors and those at risk.

We believe Crowned Free came to be for such a time as this.

We believe the Crowned Free woman is brave, courageous, a champion and an overcomer. She is strong, beautiful, fearfully and wonderfully made. She is loved. She is free.

She is you. She is me.
This is our story, and it can be your story too. Together we can make a difference.
