Our handcrafted Christmas decorations in limited edition 2016 tell a unique story. All pieces are designed in Antwerp, Belgium, but ultimately created by skillful craftsmen in India with respect of their own traditions and cultural heritage in mind. These works of art are designed to bring the magic of the ancient crafts and the imperial history into your interior, and to keep the craft alive by fair means!
The designer aligned herself and her company Environment Worldwide with the project Astitvaa@India, which helps women from the artisan villages in the far north of India to become self-sufficient. In these deprived rural communities, women often face difficulties with abusive marriages or need to provide for their children. The project gives the women an opportunity to earn a fair income and create financial independence which leads to a better life for themselves and their family. All of our handmade fair trade Christmas decorations are created by loving hands of these women!
Furthermore, we trust Environment Worldwide to work ethically and with fair trade standards. They do not tolerate subcontracting, child labour or discrimination and their suppliers should respect worker’s basic rights, health and safety. National and regional environmental regulations are followed and the company continuously visit and assess suppliers and production sites.
Surround yourself this Christmas with the beauty of imperial art and support the artisans to continue their tradition of ancient crafts by fair means!
