Connecting rural artisans to the global consumer market

As lovers of great craft, we love handmade. Handmade provides Eco-friendly, sustainable and generates employment across the world. In addition, the linear economy of consumption and waste is challenged by a new wave of redistributed micro-enterprise, with holistic sustainability, ethical and cutting-edge economic models.
