We want your business, but we don't want your money.
Our Story
Yep, you read that right. At Molave, we are doing things differently. Unlike most businesses, profit is not our driving factor. What is our driving factor, is empowering artisans and helping to provide the means to a better life for those individuals and their loved ones.
Molave is our way of breaking the capitalist and consumerist cycles that cause devastating economic injustice and disparity, by creating quality working conditions for our partners.
How do we do this?
By sharing the wealth.
Every item in this store is either handcrafted by us, the founders, or by artisans at cooperatives we are partnered with around the world. Beyond covering the costs to run this small business, the only profits we collect are those made from the items we, personally, make. Beyond that, profits are split evenly across all artisans.
Why?
Because believe in investing in human capital. We believe that every human deserves to be treated with respect, and to be rewarded for their skills, not exploited. Our goal is to lift our artisans up so that they can thrive.
Your purchase helps to provide economic opportunity for our partners, and your monthly subscription ensures a regular income for these talented artisans who bring beauty into your homes through skillfully crafted items.
