In 2010 we visited India in the wake of the global recession and witnessed the intense need of hard-working artisans who had no market for their products and no other way to provide for their families. The inspiration came to develop an online international marketplace—and the rest is history! We gathered a talented 100% volunteer team and we have now worked with artisans in over 14 developing countries, including the Philippines, Cambodia, India, Mongolia, and more. Their beautifully crafted items travel directly from their hands, to our hands, to yours. Every purchase benefits artisans by putting rice on their tables, shoes on their feet, and school books in their children's hands. We know you will fall in love with their work as much as we have!
