It Started with a Single Vase
In 2018, our founder Maya Chen traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico, where she met Rosa—a third-generation potter whose family had been creating black clay ceramics for over a century.
Rosa's work was extraordinary, yet she struggled to reach customers beyond local markets. Meanwhile, mass-produced imitations of traditional crafts flooded online marketplaces, undercutting artisans and erasing the stories behind their work.
Maya returned home with Rosa's vases—and a mission. What if there was a marketplace that celebrated the makers behind the objects? A platform where buying a piece meant supporting a family, preserving a tradition, and owning something with genuine soul?
