WE BELIEVE IN THE TRUE MEANING OF FAIR TRADE
WE PAY UPFRONT SO OUR ARTISans CAN BUY MATERIALS WITHOUT BECOMING INDEBTED.
We never quibble over our artisans’ prices. We always ensure they receive a fair price for their craftmanship.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE PEOPLE WE WORK WITH
Key to _Sondah’s values is the desire to support and promote local and international artisanal communities. We do this by making otherwise hard to reach artisanal trade visible and accessible through _Sondah’s E-store.
We engage with the physical objects and, moreso, retell the story of the makers. We celebrate the depth beyond the physical form and the maker behind each piece.
We believe in the power of collaboration and work hard to ensure positive and respectful relationships with each and every artisan. We form close relationships with our artisans and ethical sourcers.
