Whether it’s one piece or a hundred (or five thousand!) we love custom orders from individuals, businesses, and other organizations.
Whatever you have in mind, we’d be happy to talk with you about bringing it to life. We can develop concepts to meet almost any style and budget. All products are created by refugee women artisans living in Buffalo, NY. As much as possible, we work with upcycled tools and supplies.
