Create meaningful change through the power of your purchase.
In our ever evolving globalized society, we have all become constant – instant gratification consumers. Bombarded by advertisements through every medium possible, we are always searching for the next best thing.
Yet, we rarely reflect on the impact of our purchases after we swipe our credit card.
With every dollar, euro or pound spent, it is connected to a long chain of commerce, stretched over seas and continents. And the longer the stretch, the smaller the distribution of value of the item purchased.
We have often heard the saying “you vote with your dollars.” It’s powerful how true this is, as consumers we rarely realize how powerful our purchases can be. We show the world with our spending habits where are values and priorities lie. As conscious consumers we can use the force of our purchases to support causes that are important to us, but also improve the lives of countless people. We can support products made from artisans globally using locally sourced materials, which are not only economically important to artisan communities but also perpetuate cultural heritage and traditions. We support communities through our travel experiences by giving back to local charities and organizations.
We can use our purchasing power to make a real and lasting positive change in the world.
Being a socially conscious consumer is not just about charitably helping communities, it’s about appreciating culture and tradition. A handcrafted item has more character and depicts a story than a mass produced item.
Let’s use our purchasing power to empower your values. This not only keeps traditions alive, create sustainable communities but also allows you to discover new cultures.
We believe in doing business but more importantly we believe in doing good while doing business.
We partner with "Un Techo Para Mi Pais" and "Kiva" which with your support, artisans can buy more materials, grow their businesses and preserve local traditions.
