Made by hand
A time for Connection
Made by hand in burma
We work with weavers, coppersmiths and carpenters, bringing their work into homes, and homes from home.
Meet the Makers
We met Pawl and Sang Liani in early 2016. They'd given up making bamboo stools and were selling mangoes instead. We bought every stool they had and ordered forty more. Ten years on, we work with over than 500 makers across Burma, and are working to provide as much consistent work as we can.

Ready when you are
I love decorating the tree. It's not an original love, but it's true. I love the ritual of the decoration boxes coming down from the attic. I love that every year I forget what's in them, and am delighted by what I find. My favourites are the terrible things my children have made, which they leap on and are so proud of, and hang all in one very overwhelming section of the tree about a metre off the ground. I never redistribute them. I love how they love it.

This time ten years ago, I was painting my stand at the Spirit of Christmas fair, my friends Harry and Anty, my sister Liv and brother-in-law Tom all rolling away with grey paint. Cod and Spendy and Will were nobly piling up boxes in the stock hall, desperately trying to make head or tail of the contents, which had arrived hot off the container ship just hours before. It was such happy chaos, bound together with blind confidence and an unfounded conviction that this was going to work.
