| The Artisans |
Economic empowerment is the best way to help poor and disadvantaged families create sustainable livelihoods. Artizan Sarai's core mission is to create opportunities for artisans in economically disadvantaged areas of the world, to bridge cultures through artistic expression, and to help change social practices through purchasing power. Our network of buyers and producers travel to remote areas of Eastern countries such as Afghanistan, India, Morocco, Turkey, and more, to source or work with artisans on one-of-a-kind designs and products.
Artizan Sarai not only brings beautiful and original products to your doorstep, but also promotes fair trade by working with producers, nonprofit organizations and government agencies to support gender equity, better working conditions, no illegal child labor, and practices that do not unduly harm the environment.
Artizan Sarai's signature collection called "Elements For Change" features an exclusive line of home decor designed by Artizan Sarai and produced by Afghan artisans, helping to introduce the world to centuries old tradition and culture. Following over twenty-five years of war, turmoil and displacement, these artisans are especially vulnerable and are seeking opportunities for sustainable livelihoods. During the past five years, the revival of traditional crafts, art and techniques is helping to bring back the rich culture and tradition that existed in Afghanistan.
Artizan Sarai provides design and production training to the artisans to ensure that products meet international standards. The signature pieces are hand embroidered and combine Western aesthetics with traditional Afghan embroidery styles, which are some of the best in the world. The result is an exquisite collection that represents the talents of Afghan artisans. Purchase of "Elements For Change" products can not be found anywhere else in the world and directly impacts the lives of Afghan artisans by providing sustainable jobs and training.
We hope you enjoy your shopping experience and feel good knowing that you are making a change.
