This treasure's brought to you by Caribbean Crafts — a female owned company in Haiti focused on the socially responsible goal of enabling artisans to live a good life. Caribbean Crafts is committed to finding ecological uses for recycled material, like their renowned “oil drum art”, which is made from recycled steel drums found around Haiti. They're also committed to providing a variety of assistance to artisans. They offer staff local training programs, feeding programs and literacy programs. Supporting Haitian artisans with:

• Fair Wages
• Health And Accident Insurance
• A Pension System
• Interest Free Loans To Meet Their Own Needs When Crises Strike

And in 2011, with the help of the Clinton Foundation, West Elm and Prodev, Caribbean Craft started a literacy program for artisans and workers to learn to read. In 2014 they achieved their goal: 100% of their team knows how to read and write, whereas only 53% of the Haitian population is literate.

Caribbean Craft offers a collection of stunning and unique home decor pieces, handcrafted by a talented artisan community in Haiti. Perfect gifts, home decor and collectibles. Their 100% handmade home decor collection is the best choice to express your creativity while helping the artisans of Haiti.

Caribbean Craft specializes in home decor accessories: handcrafted and hand painted items, metal sculptures, papier-mache, stone carving and basketry. They produce and sell original Haitian handmade artisan products that will brighten your environment and improve the quality of life of Caribbean Craft's workers and people.

Based in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Caribbean Craft was founded in 1990. Haiti, a center of artistic creativity and inventiveness, is exemplified by the vibrant tradition and continuation of self-taught painting with colorful style and lines.

Through all the hardships that fell on Haiti, Caribbean Craft continued growing, becoming in the end of the 90’s the main provider of Haitian handicrafts for the Caribbean islands’ tourist market.

In 2006 Caribbean Craft became a woman owned company, and in 2009 was the first Haitian company to invest in a permanent showroom in Atlanta’s Americas Mart. This exposure to the American market introduced the company and its products to several important retailers like HomeGoods and Anthropologie. After the earthquake, even though Caribbean Craft lost its workshop, it managed to acquire new accounts like West Elm, Restoration Hardware, TOMS Shoes, Land of Nod, Crate and Barrel.

Since 201, their customer list covers the United States, Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Israel and most Caribbean Islands.
