Our 5x7 Bone Inlay Picture Frame has been created by a family of master artisans in Rajasthan, India. Using a technique that has been passed down through multiple generations, each frame is hand crafted in a meticulous and detailed process.

This beautiful frame 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 frame. One artisan is responsible for hand carving each piece of bone into delicate leaf shapes. A second person affixes those pieces onto a wooden base in the intricate pattern featured on the frame. 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 piece before it is complete.

We’re in love with the stunning contrast between the intricate floral pattern and the dark resin background. Our Bone Inlay Picture Frame is a chic desk or bedside accessory. It also makes for a thoughtful and stylish gift. Every purchase directly supports our artisan partners in India.

Our Annabel Lidded Porcelain Pot is the perfect accent for any room. Made by hand by a third-generation artisan family in China, this pot can be used to hold a few stems of your favorite flower, or as a neutral and elegant decorative piece.

Our Banana Leaf Table Runner has been handwoven by Fair Trade rural weavers from Southern India. Woven on a traditional handloom, artisans twist banana fiber strips to create the weft and use yarn-dyed organic cotton as the warp. Based in rural hinterlands, most weavers involved in this enterprise weave as a family tradition from the comfort of their own home.

Historically, a banana plant bears fruit only once in its lifetime. Treated as agricultural waste, remains would head to landfills once the fruit was harvested. Instead, our partners have been able to transform what was once a wasted byproduct into a beautiful and natural handmade craft. Weaving has yielded these artisans a consistent source of income, and fewer members of the family, if any at all, seek casual labor work outside of the home.

Our Banana Bark Basket is the statement basket your shelves, walls, and tables have been waiting for: Handmade by Fair Trade women artisans in Uganda, this basket bowl has endless uses. Place it on a shelf or desk for additional storage, use it on a cocktail table to hold essentials, serve fruit or bread at the dining table, or hang it on the wall using the hand-stitched loop on the back.

Our Eloise Blue and White Lidded Porcelain Pot has been handcrafted by a third-generation artisan family in China. This delicate and pretty jar can be used as a petite vase or as a striking decorative piece. It features an elegant depiction of a garden scene hand painted in gorgeous cobalt.

Our Horn Bowl has been handmade by artisans in Vietnam. Using traditional and sustainable methods, our partners have shaped ethically sourced buffalo horn into a beautiful and functional bowl. Each bowl features a cool, smooth finish and a unique and striking mix of neutral brown, cream and beige hues.

Use this Horn Bowl as a natural accent on a table or shelf – or fill it with snacks (we’re partial to Marcona almonds) as part of an elegant tabletop spread.

Our strands of decorative, recycled glass beads are handmade by a fair trade cooperative of women artisans in Ghana whose entire process harnesses locally sourced and recycled materials. The rich history of beads in the region dates back to the ancient times when they were used as the King’s currency. Today, they are a vital part of the artisan economy.

To create each bead, the artisans use a rock to break apart glass bottles and grind them into a powder. The powder is then placed in clay molds and fired. Once the glass has melted into a liquid, they use a cassava leaf stem to poke a hole through the bead. The beads form as they cool before being polished with sand and water.

The colors chosen for each bead invoke specific meanings embedded by their creators; depending on the shade, beads can represent wealth, fertility, and purity. Strung together on a large strand, they are a unique and beautiful representation of a traditional Ghanian craft.

Our recycled glass bead strands are a colorful addition to any coffee table, bookshelf or bar cart. Every purchase directly supports our fair trade and environmentally friendly artisan cooperative in Ghana.

Our Woven Palm Baskets are handmade by a cooperative of women artisans in Northern Zimbabwe. Using a locally sourced ilala palm, the weavers create each basket entirely by hand using a traditional weaving process.

To create the baskets, the artisans first harvest the ilala palm leaves in the bush surrounding their village. The leaves are then boiled to soften the stems before they are dyed with locally harvested bark and roots. They are left to air dry in the hot sun for several days. The artisans then take the dried leaves and weave them together. The center of each basket begins with a distinctive herringbone pattern that blends into a design inspired by nature. The baskets are finished with a raised rim.

The cooperative currently employs over 80 women artisans who have learned to weave from each other and their ancestors. Earnings are used to support their families as well as cover schooling fees for their children, two of which are in high school and aspire to become doctors.

Ilala palm baskets are used in Zimbabwe for serving fruit and gathering eggs. They are also given as a traditional wedding gift. We think they are a wonderful and practical gift, either as a serving basket or featured as a collection on the wall. Every purchase directly supports our artisan cooperative in Zimbabwe.
