ARTISAN PARTNERS

With fair trade standards, our artisan partners
are given the best prices for their skills.

We collaborate with local artisans from the Middle East and blend our modern style with their timeworn techniques. We support small businesses, by working in small batches with local artisan entrepreneurs, connecting their crafts to new markets, and preserving an ancient heritage, all while helping them make an honest living. This partnership allows us to achieve a combination of smart design, premium quality, and true international style.

12 displaced women in DAMASCUS

“We do not refer to our makers as refugees, they are our partners. Syrian artisans and their families, do not wish to be defined by displacement or ten years of war, but rather by their craftsmanship and preservation of a cultural heritage.”
