Frequently Asked Questions

Products

Are your products fair trade certified?

We pay above fair-trade standards by working directly with artisans, without intermediaries or mass production.

Are your products really handmade?

Yes. Every item in our collection is made by hand, not in factories. We partner directly with artisans, cooperatives, and small-scale producers who use traditional tools, techniques, and materials.

How do you ensure quality?

We work closely with artisans we trust, often visiting their workshops or sourcing communities directly. Small batches allow us to ensure each item meets our standards of integrity, beauty, and use.

Ethics & Sustainability

How do you support artisans and their communities?

We work on a direct-trade basis, meaning we partner directly with makers and pay fair, dignified prices to support traditional livelihoods and cultural preservation.

Are your materials sustainably sourced?

Yes. Whether it's wild-foraged herbs, hand-harvested clay, or locally spun fibers, we prioritize renewable, low-impact, and regionally appropriate materials. Many producers use ancestral sustainable methods by default.

Do you use eco-friendly packaging?

Wherever possible, yes. We choose recyclable, compostable, or reusable packaging, often sourced locally, to reduce transport impact.

Are your products certified organic or fair trade?

Not always. Many of our artisan partners operate outside of formal certification systems, especially in remote areas. However, we uphold the of these standards through long-term relationships, ethical sourcing, and deep transparency.
