Vintage Banda Pot

Our Taj Table Runner has been handmade by Fair Trade women weavers in Eastern India using cruelty-free organic silk. This cooperative of over 150 indigenous women work together to create a fair and steady income in a rural area that has been mired in conflict and is prone to monsoon flooding.

The cooperative is known for weaving in a compassionate and non-violent method in order to produce the silk. The women use hand-spinning techniques, natural dyes and organic materials to create each individual runner by hand. No pesticides, chemicals, or modern machines are used during any point of their process. The silk is woven on traditional zidagar frame looms made from bamboo.

We love the sustainability behind these minimalist and luxurious table runners. Use them everyday to lend a down-to-earth feeling to your dining table, or layer them as a decorative accent on a credenza or console table.

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 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 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.
