About Us
How we started
While traveling through Asia, our founder Janelle Clasby fell in love with Thailand. The kindness of the Thai people inspired her to start a business that would alleviate the daily stress of living in poverty. After meeting our first artisans, Wilawan, Rung, and Watini, she was determined to create a consistent job for these talented women and pay them fairly for their high quality work. Starting with just three artisans, we have now grown to employ over 300.
