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.

Sunset at the Pagoda
By four o'clock in December, the lighting is over to us. The sun's long gone, and the dark nights are in. Gloomy? No; cosy. Get it right, and these softly lit evenings are all the better for the contrast with brighter months. Turn the big light off, turn on the softer, lower, kinder lamps. Light the fire, light the candles, let the tree lights twinkle.

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.

The only time we stop
It's a conclusion to the year, the ending before the beginning. We need cycles, seasons, full stops. We have to stop in order to go again. And this is what Christmas is: the door to the one time in the year that we really, truly switch off.
