The art of gifting Gifting social and sustainable responsible design We craft gifts that bring colour and joy, whilst prioritizing environmental responsibility and ensuring our suppliers get a fair share.
Gifting colourful and sustainable design for third parties We love to create our Global Affairs collection, but we like to create special items for other brands, museums and retailers just as much.
Designed and manufactured with love and care We are committed to a social and environmental responsibility of our business, so we can be part of a green and peaceful future.We use sustainable choices of material (recycled and organic textile), no individual packaging and use FSC paper.
If you are looking for a partner, to create high quality and timeless compelling gifts, we design, produce and pack in close collaboration with you and we select the best materials, always looking for the most suitable and sustainable solutions. We developed bespoke collections and products for clients such as Amnesty International, Louvre, Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, TATE Britain, The Van Gogh Museum, and the sustainable retail chain Dille & Kamille.
Craftsmanship and our makers We caress the beauty of (mostly) handmade products, crafted with an eye for detail that ensures each piece is a work of art in itself. It’s about celebrating traditional crafts and ensuring our makers receive a fair share, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future.
