About Us

We are a family business dedicated to bringing the flavor of other cultures to our own. To fulfill our central goal of supporting and sustaining traditional artistry, we deal directly with skilled artisans, engage in fair-trade practices and offer culturally significant, hand-crafted items. We are proud to be a community resource for the promotion of cultural exchange and understanding.
As travel enthusiasts, we collect an exclusive, ever-changing selection of authentic and hand-made items during our expeditions abroad. Each is selected with quality, global style and traditional relevance in mind. Specializing in lustrous Mediterranean textiles, many of our products are created in limited quantities exclusively for Indigo Traders.
You are warmly invited to contact us with any questions you many have about our products or company.
