Shop Haiti

This year, Christmas in Haiti will be a picture of contrasts. There will be church services and shared family meals, just like anywhere. But amidst an unprecedented fuel crisis, unending violence, and record-breaking inflation, they will be festive moments that punctuate tense days and dark nights. This Christmas, Haitian families face unthinkable scarcity.

Shop Haiti is back – and when you choose to shop with these organizations, you’re not only finding unique, handmade gifts – you’re investing in Haitian families.

Check out our 2022 Shop Haiti picks below!

The All Day Tote is the centerpiece of our Together Collection, and for good reason. With at least four ways to style this tote, you can play with the silhouette by expanding or contracting the size to achieve the right look. Two large handwoven panels release into a shoulder bag, which you can open out to fit over the arm or fold up into a handheld bag.

XL Trifold Wallet

PeaceCYCLE

Through upcycling of old, discarded material resources, PeaceCYCLE creates entirely unique and beautiful products out of items once seen as holding little value. They hope to instill in each employee that same understanding within themselves.

Sadly, displacement, gang activity and overall unrest have meant that PeaceCYCLE has no North American stock for domestic shipments. In the meantime, they’re offering gift cards (with no expiration date) that can be used for purchases as soon as products become available again.

Purchase a gift card!
