When we discovered some artisan communities in rural Indonesia, we found that there are numerous issues preventing rural artisans from expanding their handicraft businesses. They lack education, capital, exposure to new technologies, and market intelligence. Some forms of art have gradually faded as a result of industrialisation. People in rural areas have been forced to work as labourers in cities due to a lack of opportunities to grow. As a result of their circumstances, they were more likely to become victims of modern slavery.

The visible supply chain – providing responsible and transparent supply chains – is not a challenge for us; it is our company’s guiding principle. We enjoy sharing our traceable materials and showcasing the workshop environment where our products are handcrafted. We believe that through our business operations, we can instil respect in people and the planet. Directly from our local artisans to you – and back to their communities. We’re able to maintain a small, tight-knit supply chain. We cultivate strong relationships with the communities and maintain regular contact. We’re supporting Fair Trade Communities.
