Apolis is a socially motivated lifestyle brand that empowers communities worldwide. Co-founders Raan and Shea Parton began the company in 2004 with a simple idea that business can create social change. Their travels abroad immersed them in personal experiences which led them to create a business model that bridges commerce and economic development. Along with their commitment to global advocacy, they also understand the importance of sourcing and manufacturing locally. Apolis means ?global citizen,? and the Partons have spent the last decade working with manufacturers and artisans worldwide to create products that uphold responsible business practices and promote entrepreneurship.
