What we do
Exquisite mini-box and mini-bag favours perfect for Fair Trade chocolate or organic truffles.
Purchase of these favours supports the continuing work of Karmyog, an organisation dedicated to providing vocational skills and new opportunities to young women in Calcutta (re-named Kolkata), India.
Ethical Action
We source our beautiful products from charities and Fair Trade Organisations in Calcutta – namely those providing vocational training to highly disadvantaged men, women and children.
We work closely with these organisations to assist with the marketing of their products in the US and Europe and help to create new, exciting products, combining the high skill of the groups we work with, their luxurious hand crafted papers and silks, and contemporary design.
A few ways we're trying to make a difference
Using organic products
We provide organic truffles with our mini-bag favours.
Supporting local producers
Our organic truffles are sourced from local suppliers.
Supporting fair trade
We source Fair Trade chocolate for our mini-box favours.
Supporting / working with a charity
The favours we provide are made by women that were homeless as children; and who have been trained to make beautiful hand made stationery to earn a living as adults.
Part of the proceeds of this sale will also go towards providing education in childcare homes in Kolkata.
