About Us

Our Mission

At Far + Wide Collective, we have a passion for discovering the beautiful, distinctive crafts that one could only stumble upon in tucked-away workshops during travels to far away places. We have found these handcrafted goods – and the talented artisans who make them – and are bringing them to you. In doing so, we aim to support sustainable income-generation and infrastructure-building in the communities that we work with.

Approach and Sustainability

Far + Wide Collective is dedicated to connecting artisans in emerging economies to the international market. We believe that supporting individual craft producers and small businesses through trade is the most effective and sustainable way to improve people’s lives. Far + Wide Collective seeks to create long-term relationships with our artisan partners, helping them grow their business for enduring success.

The Power of Crafts

We also believe in the beauty of goods produced by traditional methods. The authenticity of our crafts is unparalleled, as each handmade piece is uniquely linked to the artisan who created it.

But in addition to producing beautiful home décor accents and accessories, supporting the crafts sector in emerging economies provides our artisan partners with economic opportunities not otherwise afforded to them. The crafts sector is the second largest employer in developing countries and allows millions of people to own their own businesses and earn stable incomes. Craft production requires skills that, in many families, are passed on from generation to generation. With the ever-growing demand for handmade crafts, there is hope that these artisans will be able to provide their children with the privilege of education and a brighter future.

Come discover the world with us – beautiful products and artisans with fascinating stories await.
