OUR VALUES

We work with world-class artisans from around the globe to bring you a line of ethical, handcrafted homewares, lifestyle products and meaningful collections. We believe we should know the origin of the products we buy, as well as the impact of our consumption—not only on the environment, but also on the communities and individuals who created them.

SHOP HANDCRAFTED GOODS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

We believe it's important to stand behind true artisans, embracing the beauty of slow design and artisanal production—as an advocate, champion, and consumer.  We've built sustainable relationships with our artisan partners and their communities, allowing us to ethically trace each product from concept to completion.

HOW WE WORK WITH ARTISANS

At Obakki, our artisan partners are part of our extensive global family. We’re in touch on a regular basis and their quality of life—and ability to sustain themselves and their communities—will always be our top priority as a company. Over half of our artisan partners are supported by the Obakki Foundation - meaning we direct 100% of our net proceeds from their products back into what is needed for their community. To date, we have created over 4,000 water wells as well as many education, livelihood and health initiatives through ourpartnerships!
