http://www.bottletop.org/music/ - “Sound Effects”

Oliver is presenting ideas about creating income generation projects in economically disadvantaged communities and the way in which Bottletop showcases beautifully crafted fashion accessories from different cultures, to an international market. He will be presenting a track record of high profile collaborations with fashion houses such as Mulberry as well as focusing on the impact which the “ring pull project” has had on the communities in Salvador, Brazil. 

Bottletop is dedicated to designing and producing ethically sourced and sustainable products, in communities where they deliver education programmes, focusing on quality and local craftsmanship and generating sustainable trade and employment in certain parts of the World.
Oliver will also talk about the reaction they have had to their cross-cultural music projects, the Sound Affects album series.

There is a possible opportunity to seed a project with Maori / Pacific communities, and also to discuss market ready distribution opportunities, as Bottletop aims to select partners based on the demonstrated potential to produce sustainable improvement in the lives of young people.
