An Easter Basket of goodness, literally. ⁠

Working closely with our chocolate producers we were shocked to learn about the widespread corruption in the mainstream chocolate industry. ⁠
Even household chocolate brand names you know can't be certain of clean supply chains, free from cruely and misconduct.⁠

All the producers available at our online store are on a mission to change and improve the chocolate industry, so you can be safe in the knowledge that only good can come from their bars.

The founders of initially launched after a spate of terrorist attacks caused a huge drop off in the number of tourists visiting Kenya, as a way of supporting the country's artisan producers.⁠

They now showcase a wide range of designs from across Africa with each piece handcrafted using local and indigenous materials that take into account sustainability and ethical production.⁠

We're thinking Easter Host gifts, what about you? Swipe to see some of the beautiful pieces available.

Meet Farawee, the sweet sheep, made by Syrian efugees living in Turkey. This dear soft toy is based on a creature from Syrian folklore and is made from crocheted GOTS-certified organic cotton.

Why settle for cleaning tools any less stylish than these brooms made from birchwood and bassine. We think their simple designs bring a sense of quiet joy and satisfaction to every day tasks. ⁠

Each brush is handmade in Sweden or Estonia by a person with a visual impairment. The company has been running since 1870 and operating as a social enterprise since 2012. This isn’t just about creating jobs either, it’s about valuing traditional craft skills and appreciating the beauty of everyday objects.⁠

Brush making by visually impaired people has a long tradition across northern Europe, so while Iris Hantverk provides practical, modern jobs it’s also preserving a piece of history that’s valued by everyone involved.
