We met this co-operative group in Marrakech and watched the artisans make these throws specifically for the Department of Artisans. Each artisan passionately described their design inspirations to us and we were lucky enough to see their drawings come to fruition.
Each item sold by Department of Artisans employs an equal profit-sharing model.
Simply put, we make as much as our artisans do. The average split for each product is 40% artisan contribution, 40% DOA contribution, 20% importing + shipping fees. This means, our profits are the same as our artisans and we don't mark-up our prices like traditional retailers.
The 40% artisan contribution goes towards the cost of materials, the maker, and the project manager. The 40% DOA contribution goes towards marketing + operating expenses, and community initiatives. The 20% importing + shipping fees is paid out to each country during the exporting/importing process.
All shipments are securely packaged for safe and prompt delivery. We are happy to offer shipping worldwide. Please allow 1-2 business days for order processing.
