AuthorRespect Origins

Respect Origins is a Socio-economic marketplace that offers the use of internet technologies to rural artisans and communities to increase their global reach, customer sales and participation in the formal economy. The CraftsBazaar team works through Rural Hubs, offering design and materials inputs to enable traditional crafts to remain contemporaneous and relevant. It takes accountability for demand generation, quality assurance, logistics and global delivery leaving the craftspersons to focus on celebrating their creative gifts and imparting skills-training to support sustainability. Materials used are natural, locally sourced and respectful fo the environment. Export Quality and Bulk Orders are managed at no extra cost offering great value to buyers. Its a labour of love and devotion to the millions who have talent, incredible dedication and ability but lack opportunity and respect.
