Welcome to our extraordinary collection of handcrafted products from the Craft Group in Rwanda. This remarkable group of 12 widows and orphans, who tragically lost their families during the Genocide in 1994, found strength and purpose through their creative talents. With limited supplies and a powerful determination, they crafted a few pieces back in 1996 and sold them locally in Rwanda. That was the humble beginning of their journey.
Over time, the Craft Group expanded its reach, welcoming others with similar life stories to join their ranks. They supported and trained each other, honing their skills and sharing the precious knowledge they had acquired. Their unwavering commitment to their craft resulted in the creation of a remarkable range of products that radiate love, dedication, and extraordinary artistry. By purchasing their crafts, you embark on a powerful journey - one that supports these exceptional women, their families, and their dreams for a brighter future.
At Karakorum, we celebrate the Craft Group's artistry, preserve their cultural heritage, and create a more inclusive world through fair-trade practices. Each product showcases the resilience, hope, and transformation behind it. With each purchase, you become a vital part of their story and join us in supporting sustainable economic opportunities for these talented artisans. Together, we can make a difference and embrace the beauty and the possibilities of their remarkable journey.

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.
