Our Commitment to the Earth

Through our Green Initiative, our artisan partners use sustainably sourced, reclaimed, and recycled materials as much as possible. From harvesting wood from mango trees that no longer produce fruit, to repurposing recycled copper, we take pride in giving new life to what would otherwise be discarded.
