Right from its inception, the enterprise recognised the need to empower Peruvian women in matters of pay, equality and freedom.

Every thread, baby blanket and rattle talks about the artisan’s commitment to creating sustainable and expertly crafted products that become a part of your gifting story.

The women who create these stunning ethica products are trained, paid a fair wage, and encouraged to pass on their skills and traditions to future generations. By earning a fair wage, they achieve financial stability, earn respect in society, gain confidence and support their own families.

Each board is high in quality and craftsmanship - a statement piece you would love to have on your kitchen counter. No two boards are the same. They’re hewn from a single piece of Camphor Laurel timber known for its natural anti-microbial properties. Each chopping board has a unique colour and wood grain. They’re kiln-dried on the farm and designed to last a long time.

It isn’t always easy finding premium-quality chocolate that’s dairy, sugar, nut, and palm oil-free. Even if you find a bar that fits these requirements, think about the packaging it comes in. Is it home compostable? Not always, we agree.

Bernard Walker and Sabina Muir, the creators of these rich, delicious and sugar-free treats, have crafted a range that anyone can enjoy, including diabetics, keto-lovers, and those with lactose and nut intolerances.

What’s even more exciting is that their chocolates come packaged in Australian Certified home-compostable films that keep the chocolate fresh and conventional plastic-free.
