Recycled metal art

Haitian metal artists flatten discarded steel oil drums, draw the design onto the metal, then cut and emboss it by hand with a hammer and chisel.

Handmade isn't the same as fair

Handmade tells you how something was made, not how the maker was treated. A piece can be made by hand in a workshop with unfair pay or unsafe conditions. That's why every brand here is vetted against fair trade standards first, including fair wages, safe workplaces, and no forced or child labour. Handmade is what makes these gifts special. Fair trade is what makes them fair.
