Distinctive Designs Globally Created
Lotus designs and imports one of a kind, Fair Trade items from up and coming designers.
I have been traveling for the last 16 years to various regions of the word and I have always been greeted with an overwhelming sense of community and family. The colours, cultures and people's passion for life have kept me returning overseas and have driven me to combine my two loves of travel and design. The creativity of the local artisans has always been a point of inspiration for me. In every country I have been to I have always made a point to look for local crafts and designs.
All of the kindness and friendship I have received makes me believe in being as helpful to them as they have been to me. Buyers like me have the choice to purchase items that are mass produced and made in an unethical manner or to seek out talented individuals to make sure they receive a fair wage for their work. Everything from buying the silk for my "Thai Silk Line" from the home of a Thai family to finding my lovely tailor and friend "Ead" have enabled me to support small business's and ethical production. This important step in thinking helps to ensure two things; One the policies of Fair Trade are met, and two that the items brought to the market are one of a kind and are of a more personal nature.
