About Vickery Trading Company

At Vickery Trading Co, we take a unique approach to fashion. Our mission is to equip refugee women for long-term success through vocational training, personal development and fair wages while creating high-quality clothing and accessories for our customers. Our History Vickery Trading Co. was founded after founder Stephanie Giddens’ planned move to East Africa in 2013 fell through. She and her husband planned to start a social enterprise in Rwanda, but when plans changed, Stephanie realized that many of the same needs could be addressed among refugee women in the Dallas area through social enterprise. This became Vickery Trading Company, a holistic job-training program that offers a multitude of programs to help refugee women thrive in their new home. Our Job Training Program Associates earn fair wages ($10 - $12 per hour) while in the program and usually earn between $12 - $15 per hour in post-graduation employment. Before training, Associates have very limited if any earning capacity. After graduation, economic mobility is possible, building a bright future for our graduates and their families. Our Clothing & Accessories Each VTC design is named after one of our Associates and is created with kids and moms in mind. We only source materials from companies that are practicing fair labor standards, giving you peace of mind about supporting human dignity around the globe.Read their story
