Our commitment to sustainability reaches from our artisan groups in Asia to our
offices in the Chicago area. Locally we scrupulously recycle paper, packing material,
and boxes - you'll often receive shipments from us in boxes we've received from
our artisans or that we've reused from local suppliers.

Many of our products help decrease environmental impact because they're made
from sustainable or recycled materials. And since all of our products are handmade
(and often made in artisans' homes) they are not being produced in factories
generating a sizeable carbon footprint. We try to source our products in partnership
with the planet.

Specifically, we have a line of organic cotton Dahlia bags, all of our sari
textile bags and small goods are handmade from recycled sari pieces, and we're
using an increased amount of recycled glass in our beaded jewelry line. As we
increase the number of recycled or repurposed components our commitment will
continue to grow.
