Meet your makers
Artisans are paid and treated fairly - as equals and work with me to bring you their finest items.
They deserve to be seen, praised and elevated and they are so glad that you are finding value in what they have done for decades, and sometimes generations.
The majority of the artisans are female, and your purchases provide them with freedom and financial independence. They sometimes work with sisters, daughters, partners, mothers and friends to pull together and fulfil your order. Their economic strength and creative skill means that women have become the bread winners in their home, and head of the household.
