Meet The Makers

All Husk and Honey products are either handmade by us, designed by us and made ethically, or sourced from ethical artisans in New Zealand or around the world. We are fortunate enough to have travelled overseas to meet many of our artisans, to work collaboratively with a range of talented creatives, and learn more about the fair trade practices that are in place. We have dedicated this space to sharing more about our artisan's, their stories & our own experiences.

Made in Vietnam

Mrs Nga and Family

Introduced to us by Nhi, Mrs Nga owns a small, family-operated tailoring studio. We work closely with Mrs Nga, an incredibly skilled tailor and her wonderful team of seamstresses, who together bring our clothing collections to life. They primarily focus on crafting our baby-wear collections, thoughtfully working with the small, up-cycled fabric remnants we provide to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces made with care and creativity.

Anh Linh

Introduced to us by Nhi, Anh Linh has been working as a tailor since the year 2000 and brings over two decades of experience and care to her craft. A mother of two daughters, she is an incredibly hard worker but always ensures a balance between work and enjoying life - she is always happy to have a good laugh!

Linh is one of the talented artisans behind our women’s loungewear, creating our soft and sustainable yoga wear from bamboo fabrics. Her precision and eye for detail ensure that each piece is not only comfortable but made with love and intention. We are so grateful to have Anh Linh as part of our artisan family, helping us bring our slow-made, mindful designs to life.

Linh

Linh is a humble and talented seamstress who works from her quaint studio in Hoi An, where she creates beautiful clothing for the local community. We were very fortunate to be introduced to her through Nhi, whose kindness led us to discover Linh’s incredible craftsmanship. With a warm heart and a meticulous eye for detail, Linh now helps us bring to life our baby muslin range and up-cycled Sadie Shirts, thoughtfully transforming remnant fabrics into soft, timeless pieces made with love.

Nhi

Nhi is not one of our artisans, but rather a good friend who lends a hand when we come to Hoi An Vietnam. Nhi owns a wonderful Homestay nestled just out of the the busy old town & provides us with accommodation when we visit Vietnam. Nhi is also a valued business partner, coming with us as a translator and helping us to source ethical and sustainable products from local artisans. We feel so lucky to have Nhi as part of our business.

Made in Turkey

Pera Family

A Turkish company creating ethically made, high-quality throws. Each piece is crafted with care, combining traditional Turkish weaving techniques with modern, sustainable practices. The throws are made using natural materials such as organic cotton, linen and hemp, sourced responsibly, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Their beautiful designs reflect a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary style, making them a perfect addition to any home.

Made in Morocco

Azdene 

While Nadia was staying in an Airbnb in Essaouria she was lucky enough to be introduced to Azdene, a local entrepreneur passionate about local craft and fair trade practices. Together with Azdene and his team, Husk and Honey was able to curate a collection of consciously made pom pom blankets (famous in Morocco) and matching cushions, as well as Wool cushions that are made out of repurposed rugs, above Azdene's store (a project created by the team to reuse rugs and create more affordable products for locals and tourists who want to support the local craft). All blanket sand cushion covers are beautifully crafted. The cotton blankets are handwoven or hand-knotted from natural fibres like cotton or wool, making them both soft and durable. Moroccan textiles, in general, are known for their unique designs that blend traditional Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean influences. Whilst traditionally made in the Atlas Mountains, these cushions are now also made in Safi. Made by the local Berber men (as it takes quite a bit of strength to use the cotton and wool foot looms) - these talented artisans all run there own businesses / are self employed and sell independently to stores around Morocco, allowing them to control the price they sell at and there working conditions. 

Cactus Silk Cushion Covers

Another lovely connection Nadia made in Morocco was through a bunch of young men working for an interior company, working to showcase Moroccos beautiful crafted products, with a commitment to fair trade principles. When they showed us their Sabra Silk cushion range - we really fell in love!

"We work directly with artisans, eliminating intermediaries to ensure that the true value of their craftsmanship is recognised and rewarded fairly. This direct collaboration not only guarantees the highest quality but also ensures that each artisan receives fair compensation for their work. Our artisans pour their heart and soul into their work, using techniques passed down through generations. Their dedication to quality and authenticity is evident in every stitch, every pattern, and every detail. Through shopping local, you are supporting sustainable businesses that value and preserves traditional crafts, whilst being provided with economic opportunities."

Made in Aotearoa

The Husk and Honey Team

Aotearoa, New Zealand is Home to the Husk and Honey owners - Nadia and Elke. Whilst both of us love to travel and spend time in other places around the world, NZ is the place we will always come back to and continue to call home. We have a range of products made in New Zealand by Husk and Honey's wider Collective team and partners, including artisanal products created by and made by us.
