Bangladesh is a South Asian country that handles the embroidery process for Glass Cypress items, has achieved remarkable economic development, but is also known to be frequently affected by climate change and suffering from natural disasters such as droughts and floods.

Poverty issues are particularly known in rural areas. The embroidery techniques passed down among local women as one of the key pillars supporting life in that area bearing the heart and soul of their toil.
Not only that, but another wonderful aspect of this brand is its partnership with local people through charitable activities in which they partner with BRAC (Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee), one of the world's largest non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and donate a portion of their sales to the organization. Hence, giving back to this community with altruism is a core ethos for Glass Cypress.
