Hello,

Im wondering if anyone can help inform me about sourcing Asian ethically produced  handicrafts and homewear.

We are interested in importing original furniture,jewellery, decorative homewear, and exotic one of a kind pieces to the Middle East.

We would like to act as somewhat of a cultural hub where East meets West down the middle. :-)

Any info on countries,suppliers and artisan crafs in Asia that may be of interest would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks alot!

Hello Farah,

 

I think yours is a very good idea.

Check out the info at www.weaving.sawangboran.com - ethical, organic, authentic silks from Northeast Thailand. There may be something of interest to you in there.

 

best regards,

rosanne

Hello Farah, 

 

 

My company, ECO-OIKO, focuses on sourcing niche, unique and fashionable high quality products from Asia, Africa and South America, but unlike other similar products, all of ours have a high demonstrable sustainable social impact. Our products tailor to this growing movement of ecological but fashionable consumers. 
Some of examples of our products are high end handbags produced from recycle waste materials in India by women that get employed on fair terms, paying them decent salaries allowing them to send their kids to school and save money.  Other products include artisan work and home ware accessories produced in Sri Lanka from newspaper and textile by communities of women that survived the 2004 Tsunami in SE Asia or high end stationary from elephant dung paper that goes towards funding elephant orphanages in Sri Lanka as part of our "Save the Elephant" campaign.
Feel free to contact me on eco.oiko@gmail.com 
Kind Regards, 
Kavita

 

Hello Farah, 

 

I am in contact with quite a diverse range of manufacturers based primarily in Japan, but also other parts of Asia as well. 

 

More than happy to point you in the right direction of various producers as well as small organisations that can also undertake bespoke/personalised items. 


With kind regards
