When you walk the home decor market for hours on end, you scan thousands of items. What jumps out…items that are interesting, that work for your customer, are priced right, and the designer knew ‘when to stop’. We can apply those factors to our designs, no matter the medium. The featured containers fit all of the criteria and caught my eye in a sea of products. Loved the chocolaty brown background, the three dimensional element of the trees, and the white wash that highlights them.
There is an additional element to this resource…Every item is handcrafted by artisans who would otherwise have trouble reaching a larger audience.
“Our passion for handcrafted art grew as we travelled from one African country to another and started to work directly with the artisans. Our current business model started to take root as we saw how talented the artists were in creating the amazing work, in most cases just using their hands and basic hand tools.
We always treated the artisans and their families fairly and even today those artisans, their families and community work with us in developing and designing new products. Bhanu (one of the owners) spearheads a lot of these developments and spends countless hours each year working with the Artisans. Input from our Customers also has been invaluable.
The company has continued to expand, and its global network of artisans now stretches across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.”
