My workplace is a business casual environment, which is fantastic. Most office fashion has become more flexible over the years and women can be more expressive and embrace their own personal style. I wear denim a few days a week, but when I have meetings with executives, I prefer to polish my look a bit more. I will usually do black pants, cute heels and a simple, yet stylish top. I was recently introduced to TJULA Design, which is an ethically made apparel company with a purpose to empower women.
The company produces high quality, modern and functional clothing that is reasonably priced. What’s really special about TJULA is that it trains and employs Cambodian women to help them build their confidence, lift them out of poverty and ultimately advance their families. They create fair work for these women by working with organizations that help to train them to create TJULA’s quality products. The women are paid fair wages in ethical work environments.
The top that I received was the company’s Slitback Tank. This is a lightweight top with a split back to give it a little fashionable flair. I love the way that this top fits (it doesn’t hug around the middle) and it looks perfect with a pair of black pants. My favorite thing about this top is that it has a double layer, so it isn’t transparent. I have so many tops that I have to layer a camisole or tank underneath, as they are either see-through or too low cut. This top is perfect the way it is, or you can add a jacket or cardigan over it (especially if you work in an office that is freezing like the one I work in). It is ideal for the office with its beautiful detail and simple lines. You can tell that this is a high-quality, well-crafted garment.
Right now, TJULA offers three unique and key pieces to add to your wardrobe—the Slitback Tank, Tulip Skirt and the Everyday Pants. This company is about making quality products with mindful sourcing and production and their journey has just begun. It’s not about large quantity, mass produced, trendy pieces that go out of style in a few months.
The TJULA Slitback Tank is available on the website for $42.99. A portion of profits from this piece (as well as the other pieces) will be given back to the community where the product is made through non-profit programs that further local community development. Overall, I love the clothes and I love the company. They are driven by a larger purpose, which is totally refreshing.

I like these simple lines that fit perfectly and go so well for many different occasions. Nice to hear about an ethically made apparel company.
I really like that look. It reminds me of the photos of the ladies in southeast Asia who so often wear beautiful tops like that with the black pants. It’s a classic look.
I had never heard of this company before I read about them on your post. Now I really want to check them out. I really the look of this top and I also like the price. Thank you for sharing this great post and have a nice rest of the weekend.
I love the stylish look and how it fits loosely around the mid-area. I could wear this top with dress pants or a nice pair of jeans.
I’m checking out TJULA! I never heard of it before, but they have nice things. I love this top! It is everything you could want!
I love this top because the slit back not only makes it easier for more body types to wear, but also makes it more fashionable. Then it can be worn with jeans, pants, a skirt or a suit.
I love that dainty looking top. It looks nice on you and I think that I am a similar body type. I love seeing clothes modeled by real humans!
