Every item you buy holds its own story – of resilience, strength and empowerment

"It’s taken a few lifetimes for some of these individual handcrafted items to find their way to us here in New Zealand. Each item tells its own story, its journey to help individuals, orphans, widows, and entire communities.” – Sue van Schreven, Founder, Orphans Aid International

Our Story

Our collection started in 2008, with fair trade bags from Nepal, steadily growing into today’s carefully curated range of ethically sourced and produced goods from around the globe. We’re excited to give artisans a dignified way to provide for their own families - preserving traditional craft forms handed down through generations, while also helping direct funds to our partners throughout the world providing care, education and hope for children in need.
