The Artisan Box is a monthly subscription box featuring beautiful, distinct products that support remote artisans and farmers. The September 'Wellness Box' is a unique and one of a kind package to help maintain life balance. This co-branded, curated Wellness Box includes a bevy of items that support a healthy mind, body and soul, including:

Blessing Bag, $12 – Handmade in Ghana
Each Blessing Bag is linedwith upcycled water sachets that would otherwise clog street gutters and landfills in Ghana. 



Eye Pillow, $13 – Handmade in Peru
Each eye pillow is handmade by Shipibo artisans, a peoples found in a remote part of the Amazon River basin. The fabric is hand-woven from cotton, dyed with mahogany bark, and hand-painted using a pointed piece of bamboo using the juice of a local berry.

Baobab Superfruit Powder, $9.99 – Hand Harvested in Benin, Africa
The fruits are hand-harvested by producer families and processed by a women's co-op using age-old indigenous methods of transformation in a modern, clean facility. The money they earn provides their families with better access to health care, improved nutrition and puts more children in school.


Palm Leaf Basket, $12 - Handwoven in Oaxaca, Mexico
For each artisan involved, basket-weaving means a stable monthly income used for building a house, starting a small business, or purchasing food and medicine. For the people of the Mixteca region, basket-weaving is a way of life that also sustains life.
