Are you familiar with Novica? They are dedicated to giving artisans around the world a showcase for their products. Many of these artisans and craftsmen live in rural communities and they don’t have the means to sell their work on the international market. NOVICA gives them a free platform to do this, and reach customers on a global scale. And this is good for you and me, because we get to shop for the coolest stuff on the planet!

Novica has teams of local art experts based in every region and they provide artisans with all the backup they need. From product development advice, to quality control assistance, Novica is there to make their listing process as smooth as possible.

If you’re like us, you care about who you’re buying from, and who you’re supporting. Novica does more than just sell a product. On every product page, you’ll find a portrait and detailed biography of each artist. It makes your buying experience much more personal.

In a world where there are so many mass produced products, with no record of who made them, and under what conditions, NOVICA gives you the choice to say no to sweat shops and child labor, and to vote with your wallet for a happier world.
