In the hush of Western North Carolina’s golden hour, where the mountains stretch like poetry and the wild grasses whisper their ancient song, a vision came to life.
Hannah Snipes, known as Prolific Mama, stood draped in the Jasmine dress—an ethereal piece of slow fashion artistry from Abel. The moment was more than a photoshoot; it was the embodiment of a dream; woven together by passion, purpose, and the beauty of ethical craftsmanship.
Admiring Able
For years, Hannah followed Abel’s founder, Robyn Mitchell, admiring the mission, the craftsmanship, and the heartbeat behind the brand.
Abel was more than clothing—it was a cause, a movement, a tangible expression of dignity restored through fashion.
The Jasmine Dress: A Timeless Investment
The Jasmine dress is a masterpiece of simplicity and elegance. Made from organic cotton, its tiered silhouette, puffed long sleeves, and oversized fit offer both grace and ease. Hannah describes it best:
"I love the way that it feels. The shape, the silhouette—it’s effortlessly beautiful but so wearable. It’s the kind of piece that never goes out of style, one you reach for again and again, knowing it was made with purpose."
It’s more than just a dress. It’s a capsule investment piece, an heirloom of the slow fashion movement, a garment that carries the fingerprints of the hands that stitched it, hands that have been empowered through Abel’s mission.
Abel: Fashion With a Mission
Abel is more than a brand; it’s a social enterprise built on the foundation of Community Economic Development (CED)—an initiative that restores dignity and opportunity to those facing barriers to employment.

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Abel equips women with sewing skills, providing flexible work opportunities that fuel independence and financial stability. Every dress, every tote bag, every meticulously crafted piece supports the very hands that created it.
Their commitment to ethical, small-scale production means that every collaboration is intentional, every garment is made with care, and every purchase directly impacts lives. Abel is slow fashion at its finest—a movement that values people over profit, craftsmanship over convenience, and impact over excess.
Why choose Abel?
Hannah’s encouragement to those considering an Abel piece is simple yet profound:
It’s a timeless silhouette that I don’t think would ever go out of style. You’re not just buying a dress—you’re investing in a mission, in sustainability, in real people’s lives. And let me tell you, you will feel so good wearing it.
A Story Woven in Threads of Purpose.
Standing amidst the rolling hills of Western North Carolina, with the sunlight spilling like gold over the landscape, Hannah became a living reflection of Abel’s vision—graceful, strong, timeless. This collaboration was never just about a dress; it was about two brands, two women, and one shared heartbeat for beauty, ethics, and purpose.
The Jasmine dress is available now, ready to be worn by those who believe in fashion that does good, garments that tell a story, and beauty that is more than skin deep.
Because when we choose ethical fashion, we don’t just wear a dress.
We wear a purpose.
