About Us
Each purchase can help an entire community thrive.
The World's Corner is a platform for artisans from ethnic minority groups to share their traditional crafts and culture.
With each product you purchase, ethnic minorities and local artisans in South East Asia are able to improve their livelihoods as well as continue sharing their traditions.
Once we sell an entire collection, we give 15% of our revenue back to the artisans so they can continue their entrepreneurial journey.
Our founder
I've been living in SE Asia for over two years, working as a communications consultant for international NGOs.
This experience has allowed me to learn about the traditions, lifestyle and difficulties ethnic minority groups face daily.
The World's Corner was created as a way to give artisans from various ethnic minorities a platform to share their stories, traditions and showcase their unique craftsmanship.
As a young girl growing up in Venezuela, I was always taught to appreciate all art forms. I still remember vividly my mom's handmade collection of miniature wooden houses from our hometown, Maracaibo. I believe in the magic of a product that is made with dedication.
As I continue meeting new artisans and learning their stories, I can't help but to be excited about what's ahead of us. We are sharing with the world their beautiful products but they're sharing with us traditions that should be preserved and shared forever.
Sincerely,
Patricia Chourio
