Craft Boat - Jaipur, India

Based in Jaipur, India, Craft Boat works extensively with recycled paper and natural fibre textiles. Their collections reflect a sense of intentional use of material and craft as well aws honoring slower processes, as they have always aimed to make long lasting, functional products. Their community holds them afloat - their "boat". "On the Cutting Table" is a  practice that Craft Boat has been working on to convert the last bits of 100% cotton textile scraps from garment and fabric manufacturing industries into sheets of handmade paper. This is a process done by their team of expert paper makers in Sanganer, Jaipur. Learn more about the paper making process here.

Namaste UK - Skipton, UK

In 1995, in search of some adventure, Namaste founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and started a business. Namaste is dedicated to sourcing beautiful fairly traded products from the far corners of the world, embracing traditional artisan skills. They are passionate about ensuring their products where possible are made from environmentally friendly, sustainable and recycled materials.

 

 

Madhu Chocolate (Coming Soon!) - Austin, TX, USA

Madhu Chocolate is a company born out of a passion for combining traditional Indian flavors with the richness of chocolate. Founders Harshit and Elliott source their cacao from the Tumaco region of Colombia, then meticulously roast, crack, winnow, grind, flavor, temper, and wrap all our bars by hand. Their inspiration comes from Harshit's mom. Her inventive recipes and incredible chai have fueled Harshit's lifelong passion for food. They named their business after her: Madhu, which means honey or sweet in Hindi. At Madhu Chocolate, they believe that sweetness goes beyond just thier products. That's why they live by the mantra, "Be Madhu to one another." They strive to spread kindness and positivity in everything they do, from their beautiful packaging inspired by Indian textiles to the gorgeous bars themselves. They pour their heart and soul into every aspect of our business, and hope you can taste the love in every bite. 100% LGBTQ+ and 50% BIPOC minority owned and led small business. We are thrilled to bring this exciting brand to the UK customer for the first time!
