Our pretty hand towels are woven by local artisans in the Anatolian region of Turkey. Using techniques that have been passed down through many generations, each one is made in the great tradition of Turkish towels.

Known as Peshtemals, Turkish towels are world famous for their durable and soft texture that is lightweight yet super absorbent. 

In ancient times before every home had a private bathroom, communities would revolve around a traditional bathhouse. People would gather there to socialize and clean themselves. Since these buildings were very humid, the towels used there needed to be lightweight and quick drying. While the hammam towel has outlived the tradition of shared public bathhouses, its use has expanded to be the perfect companion for powder rooms and en-suite bathrooms everywhere.

Our bone inlay box has been created by a family of master artisans in Rajasthan, India. Using a technique that has been passed down through multiple generations, each box is hand crafted in a meticulous and detailed process.

This beautiful indigo bone inlay box features a traditional botanical pattern. Adorned with intricately carved recycled and naturally occurring bone, it takes a team of individual artisans to create a single box. One artisan is responsible for hand carving each piece of bone into delicate leaf shapes. A second person affixes those pieces onto a wooden frame in the intricate pattern featured on the box. The third and final master artisan fills the outline of the pattern with colored resin to create the background. Additional team members sand and seal the box before it is complete.

This sweet Alpaca Ornament has been handmade in the Arequipa region of Southern Peru. Each ornament has been adorned with hand-sewn details and covered in luxurious, soft and natural alpaca fiber.

Alpacas are members of the South American camelid family. They are indigenous to the highlands of the Andes where their breeding is a vital component of the economy for a large sector of the population. Alpacas are prized for their natural, silky and soft fiber that is biodegradable and hypoallergenic.

Alpacas are famous for their durable fiber. They are natural vegetarians and graze on vegetation typically found on high altitude moorlands. Fewer than one alpaca exists per acre; their impact on the environment is minimal. No harm is caused to the alpacas during the sheering process, which occurs only once every 12 months.

These small Alpaca Ornaments are a natural and cute holiday decoration. They can also be used as a sweet table decoration.

Our Highlands Pillow features a one-of-a-kind textile from Chiapas, Mexico. Each textile has been handmade by a local women’s cooperative who have been weaving for multiple generations.

Our weaving partners have a reputation of having one of the finest and oldest weaving traditions in all of Mexico. The textiles and styles of dress from this remote village show a refined texture and detailed, knotted patterns made of handspun cotton. Each design draws upon the weavers’ mythologies and their perceptions of the natural world. Designs are passed down from mother to daughter orally, with no written patterns on record.

This cooperative of weavers are masters at weaving on a backstrap loom, which gets its name from the way the loom is attached to the weaver’s body. At one end, the artisan ties the bottom of the loom around her lower back using a wide leather belt. The weaver attaches the other end to a fixed and sturdy object such as a tree. Backstrap looms are lightweight and portable, making for easy transport and flexibility to weave whenever and wherever the artisan pleases.

Our Highlands Pillow collection has a special story to tell about cultural heritage, textile artistry and the artisan handmade process. Each piece has been created in a Fair Trade environment, and provides direct income to our artisan partners in Southern Mexico.

Mudcloth, or bogolanfini, is traditionally made by the Bamana people of Mali using materials and dyes locally sourced in the region. The technique dates back to the 12th century when the cloth was made to be a highly symbolic and utilitarian textile.

The creation of mudcloth is an entirely by-hand, multiple step process that takes over a year to complete. The women of a household spin cotton into a thread before it is hand woven on a narrow strip vertical loom. The narrow strips are sewn together to create the desired width for each panel. To dye the cloth, iron-rich mud is collected from streams and ponds, and is fermented for an entire year until it turns black. The makers then soak the cloth in a liquid made of the leaves of native trees, which dyes the cloth and allows for the tannins in the mud to bind the cotton. A female artist outlines the resist pattern with a stick or metal tool and then the entire background is covered with the fermented mud. This meticulous application is repeated twice to ensure a dark, rich color.

Each piece of mudcloth has a specific story to tell about cultural heritage and the artisan handmade process. Our mudcloth pillows are a luxurious addition to your home, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship.

This set of four pretty cocktail napkins have been handwoven in India using the finest imported Belgian flax. Our pure linen napkins feature an eyelash fringe on their side edges, and they have been stone washed to soft perfection, creating added texture and character.

Our Fair Trade artisan partner employs a full-time team of over 85 artisans in Kerala and New Delhi, India to create this line of cocktail napkins. The craftspeople receive on-site training and above-average wages, free lunch and access to interest-free loans. Using the imported Belgian flax, the team weaves the linen on traditional Indian handlooms. They dye the linen using a multi-generational process before washing the textiles with volcanic stone in order to loosen the linen’s natural fiber and create the napkins’ soft finish.

Our Block Print Napkins (Set of 4) have been handmade by a family of master artisans in Rajasthan, India. Using a technique that has been passed down through multiple generations, each napkin is printed by hand using an ancient process. 

To begin, a master craftsperson carves the desired pattern -- or fragment of a pattern that will later be combined -- out of a solid piece of locally sourced wood. After the block is completed, a second artisan mixes natural dyes before he dips each block and presses it down onto a long strip of cloth. Designs that contain multiple colors or complex images often require several different blocks to complete the pattern. This art form requires an incredibly steady hand and a precise, repetitive movement to execute a master-level block print.

Our collection of block print napkins is made entirely by hand, including the printing, cutting and sewing of each individual napkin at the family’s facility in Rajasthan. Every purchase directly supports our artisan partners in India.
