The Heart of Haiti

The Heart of Haiti collection is an array of handmade products for the home -- quilts, metalwork, ceramics, and paintings -- created by Haitian artisans. Each item is designed by a Haitian master artisan and produced by hand in Haiti from recycled materials.

Through the sale of Heart of Haiti products, artisans are able to earn life-changing income for themselves, their families, and their communities. The initiative is enabling artisans to repair homes, pay school fees, and feed and clothe their families. The income also allows them to have access to better nutrition, improved education and healthcare.

The Heart of Haiti collection has already led to employment of 350 artists in Haiti and has provided some financial benefits for an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people in the country.  Each item is designed by a master Haitian artist and made by hand in Haiti.  Each product is made from recycled materials.  The collection includes 40 different home decor items and accessories.  Products include vases, candleholders, serving trays, picture frames, mirrors, coasters, necklaces, clutch purses and more.  Most items fall in the $25-$60 range.
