Handmade in Vietnam
Please note that orders placed over the May Day weekend will be dispatched on Tuesday 5th May.
LUA
Lua sprang to life in 2000 when founders Emma and Eugene left their accountancy jobs at The British Council and headed off on a life-changing year around the world. Arriving in Vietnam, they were deeply impressed by the skills of the local artisans producing clothing and accessories there.
All Lua pieces are handmade by women working in clean, safe workshops or at home so they can work according to their families’ needs. Poverty is widespread and working with Lua enables them to combine any farming obligations with a valuable additional source of income.
Since 2018 Lua has supported the work of Rewilding Britain which aims to return large swathes of the UK to its natural state, encouraging the return of wildlife and tackling the extinction crisis. Many of Lua's designs reflect this, featuring flora and wildlife largely of the UK.
Ordered some lovely woven table mats with coloured edging. Nicely packaged prompt service with update on despatch.
Quality of the product is lovely they hold shape well and when I apply some porridge on the on the first outing they mopped up nicely without losing any structural integrity. I would definitely recommend.
The placemats and coasters are lovely, really nice colours.
They were first used for a large family meal, everyone commented how lovely they were!
A beautiful gift for my Mum on Mother’s Day. Really efficient service and delivery.
