About the Supplier
Our supplier is a long-established business that specialises in hand-painted Kashmiri Crafts. Traditional crafts are very important to the economy of Kashmir, a region that has many challenges and our supplier provides valued employment to 500 people. The artisan painters benefit from good wages and are able to work at home which enables them to look after family commitments around work. Wages paid are at least equal to government regulations and workers receive good additional benefits. The business also funds the education of multiple families of their workers. There is no child labour and workers are able to raise any employment concerns and have the right to join trade unions and bargain collectively. There is no discrimination of any sort and men and women earn equal pay for the same roles. Our supplier has a strong concern for the environment. Harmful chemicals are avoided and recycled paper is used in the products wherever possible. They also have a strong commitment to the local community and support organisations who provide education for poor/orphan children and also have their own sports academy for girls/boys aged under 20
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.
