The Product:

We love this used as a tray on a coffee table to hold books and remotes, in an office to organize your desk things, or to carry your breakfast in bed! It's also sized perfectly for y our casserole pan to sit in and makes a lovely presentation!

The Story:

We work with 3 different groups of makers (totaling 20 people!) to make our baskets. Locally sourced dried palm tree leaves are handwoven into a beautiful 2nd Story with each product made; these pieces show off the beauty of Haiti. It takes steady patience and an artist’s feel to work with the palm leaves. Their work speaks for itself!

The Details:

- dimensions: approx. 8.5 x 11 x 3” (perfect casserole size!)

-materials: locally-sourced palm leaves

- 100% local, natural materials



About the Partner & Their Impact:

Our Impact Partner, 2nd Story Goods understands how it feels to want to buy things that are good for the people who made them, the planet, and you. This is why they have been working on the ground with their artisans in Gonaives, Haiti for 10 years, creating recycled, handcrafted goods for a livable wage. Last year, their impact enabled over 108 children to stay in school, not because of hand-outs, but through the dignity of their parents’ work with 2nd Story Goods.
