The story behind Pebble
FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED
PEBBLE
Pebble products are made by Hathay Bunano, a company started back in 2004 by Samantha Morshead MBE. On moving to Bangladesh, Samantha saw the incredible poverty so started teaching the women knitting and crocheting skills. Soon her vision of bringing sustainable and flexible employment to rural and disadvantaged women became real.
Following WFTO accrediation, Pebble is currently the only guaranteed fair trade crochet toys in the world. It now employs over 5,000 women in 52 different regions of Bangladesh, and handmade products are still at the core of the business.
The employment is very much community based - the women are paid fairly and the work is flexible - they enjoy getting together to work, chat and share.
It's lovely to see these women with incredibly skilled hands able to work close to their homes, keeping families together and preventing the need for economic relocation to the cities.
And when every piece is made by hand they are all unique, meaning no two pieces will be exactly the same - you could say each one is a work of art!
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.
