Why Care About Origin?

For us it's about reminding the world that craft still exists...
It's for the people that feel a word like artisan should never have quotations around it...
It's about believing that knowing the origin of a product deepens your connection to it.

We know people buy products for many different reasons. But we also know people stay loyal to brands for only a few - like quality, consistency, and connection. We want to earn your loyalty by featuring unique, high-quality products, by consistently prioritizing you, our customer, and by providing you with a deeper connection to the people and places - the Origin - behind the products you buy from us.

For us it's about reminding the world that craft still exists... that a word like "artisan" should never have quotations around it.

By purchasing from our store, you can always feel confident that the product is fair trade, handmade, and eco-responsible. You can also feel good about the fact that a portion of our profits is always donated back to purpose-driven organizations doing work to support the communities our products come from. We even have goals to start a non-profit organization that provides free access to entrepreneurial training programs for people in underserved communities around the world.

We're just getting started, but we feel we've already been able to connect with some special brands from around the world and we can't wait to see where this journey will take us, them, and everyone we'll meet along the way.
