Manifesto

Artisan Links is a socially responsible fair trade business featuring products that contribute to a sustainable future. As the only guaranteed member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), each product we create is beautifully handcrafted by our team of women-only artisans, comprising of Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Our motto is to be a responsible business, and we empower women in marginalized communities by helping them gain economic security and encouraging them to exploit their artistic expertise. By translating traditional embroidery techniques into contemporary designs, we develop exquisite hand embroidered apparel, home furnishings, gifts, accessories and more. We believe in the importance of cultural preservation, which is why you’ll find that our embroidery makes use of various intricate techniques such as Kandahari, PuktaDozi and more.
