Artisan & Fox is an online marketplace for artisans in developing countries, bringing makers from Afghanistan to Kenya online. We have also recently launched a pro-bono initiative with Syrian women refugees in Lebanon (https://www.artisanandfox.com/syria/) in crafting Syrian scarves. Ethical gifts for the festive season?
@jaron_soh What a perfect Xmas gift platform for the ethical consumer! Please tell us more about how you build relationships with artisans on the ground.
@abadesi Thanks Abadesi! We work directly with local artisans through field assessments, such as in Nepal and Vietnam, where we also hire local coordinators to help bring the artisans online. We also work through partner NGOs or charity, such as in our new initiative 'Threads Of Syria', where we're working with a charity called Tight-Knit Syria to co-create new designs and bring 25 Syrian women refugees and their products onto our website!
