Meet the maker Mbare
For more than 20 years, the ethical brand Mbare (pronounced “im-bah-ree”) has worked with artisans all across Africa to create stunning baskets and glassware. Mbare’s gorgeous African home decor uses natural and recycled materials. Artisans hand weave each basket using traditional weaving techniques passed down from generation to generation. Mbare’s glassware consists of 100% recycled glass melted down and reshaped into incredible drinkware. Mbare pays living wages to all artisan partners, financially supports more than 2,000 artisans, and adheres to fair trade practices. The majority of Mbare’s artisan partners are fair trade certified.
