Natural Values
Thanks to Mother Nature we can exist in harmony with the planet. Our natural values stamp means you're buying products which are organic, eco friendly or made from sustainable natural resources such as bamboo and GOTS certified organic cotton. Natural products take a holistic approach to production promoting green living and renewable resources – ultimately inflicting less harm on the environment and it's dwellers – that's us and your cat!
Naturally made products are chemical-free which means they're better for your skin, they help keep the air clean and therefore prevent human deterioration. Put simply they are products of the future because they work that much harder to ensure that future generations will be able to sustain on our little green planet. Fill your home with natural products and see just how generally more soul enriching they are to be around. Read more »
Handmade
Crafted by hand each product is one-of-a-kind. The beauty lies in no two items ever being identical.
Testament to the skills of craftsmanship and crafts-womanship of our artisans, your handmade gift will have an identity and story of it's own which you can share and enjoy. If would like to learn more about the artisans who lovingly craft our fair trade products please be sure to visit Meet The Artisans.
Recreate
We love the creativity involved in turning something old into something new. Recycling, renewing, up-cycling you name it our artisans are on it.
From across the globe we've seen such innovation when materials bound for landfill are reclaimed and salvaged and transformed into quirky one-of-a-kind products. By buying these products you help the planet by not contributing to a wasteful throw away society.
Heritage Crafts
Throughout history skills and knowledge have been passed on from generation to generation. As we embrace the digital age we believe it is important to recognise the value of traditional skills and the wisdom within their legacy.
There are so many exciting stories behind these products which are part of the rich tapestry of humanity and our timeline. Fair trading helps to protect and promote cultural identities expressed through heritage crafts and means you are able to own a beautiful diversity of home and giftware.
If you'd like to know a bit more about your specific purchase we would love to hear from you so please do get in touch.
Empowering Women
In many cultures the weight of income and caring for the family falls to women. Whilst we support men and women equally and believe in equal rights we want to give a voice to women who sadly still often receive lower wages and are marginalized.
