About the supplier
After listening to the challenges women in rural Honduras faced to overcome poverty, Emilee Connell-Umanzor saw the need for jobs. The women she met were talented but had few job or market opportunities. In 2012, Emilee met with artisans, Dilcia and Maribel, and shared a crazy idea to create bracelets from pine needles and thread. They had the skill and they said YES! That year, they worked together to create 2 bracelet designs. In December of that same year, they launched SoloHope with just 80 bracelets. Since that time, the team has expanded as well as our product line. It is an honour to bring products to you that will start meaningful conversations as well as be timeless and functional products you will love for years to come.
Karakorum introduces you to artisans of the world and the beautiful stories behind their products. This ethical home decor brand is a joyous celebration of traditional crafts, small business and fair trade practices.
Karakorum is named after the former capital of the Moghul Empire, one of the most important cities on the Silk Road, despite its small size. Likewise, the brand is a small-but-mighty route for trade from around the world.
A scroll through the Karakorum collection is like looking into the shop window of global artisans. Find candles crafted in Eswatini alongside Indian throws, Moroccan lanterns and Guatemalan sugar skull mugs.
All Karakorum products have a special story and significance. Even more importantly, everything in the range is ethically made and sourced. That means the makers get a fair wage, there’s no exploitation in the supply chain, women are treated equally and the local community benefits from Karakorum’s trade.
Whether you’re after a memorable, meaningful gift or a piece you can show off in your own home with pride – the Karakorum collection is the place to find it.
