Our Principles

Fair Trade: We purchase products only from companies that provide good working conditions for workers and ensure no child labor or forced labor was used.

Sustainable: We source textile products that are produced in ethically responsible ways, both for the maker and for the planet.

Handmade: We feature unique or one-of-a-kind items that emphasize quality craftsmanship.

Culturally Authentic: We present objects that emanate from the geographic regions that developed their techniques and aesthetic, or by artists who appropriate cultural sources to create new and original work.
