Since 2002, a Korner of the World has been introducing to its clientele handmade items from our world. a Korner of the World buyers searched throughout Asia and have established warm and committed friendships. Our goal is to work with these people to make their standard of living a better one, not necessarily using money as a mere means, but through our lives touching & the discovering of a world without borders hopefully everyone involved, including our customers will see the world as a better place. 

It is important to ensure that the products a Korner of the World buys are made under humane and fair conditions. The buyers of a Korner of the World travel throughout Asia to make contact with artisan families and buy directly from the crafters and the sewers. Artisans continue their traditional way of life due to buyers like ourselves. New and recycled textiles enable the artisan to make one-of-a-kind bags, purses, wallets, and other products. Their continued success is based upon supply and demand. If this process were ever interrupted the artisans would have to leave their villages and relocate to surrounding cities looking for work. a Korner of the World is very proud of having established a relationship with artisan families throughout Asia. As there are no factories in these villages, we visit the families’ homes to buy the items we provide to our clientele.

At the end of the day it will never end with the thought of money, but the reality that we are a part of a small movement to make positive changes in a world that is desperately needing people to be more aware of the fact that every action creates a reaction. We want our reaction to be one that provides education, enlightenment & care.
