This selection is part of the Bach Project’s partnership with Nest, a non-profit working to increase global workforce inclusivity, improve women’s well-being beyond factories, and preserve cultural traditions around the world. The partnership celebrates a fundamental cultural practice — handcraft — by surfacing and sharing handmade objects from Bach Project locations on six continents with you.

Alperstein Designs works with Aboriginal-owned art centers, indigenous groups and artists. The company is licensing the original artworks and reproducing on a range of goods from ceramics to homewares. Royalties from all sales go back to supporting the artist and the Aboriginal associations. Products come packaged with information about the makers and artworks.
