The workshop that produces these small crosses specializes in creating hanging decorations. All these decorations are handmade, and the time required to make each of them reflects their unique quality.

For over 30 years, the workshop has partnered with a small charity organization in Thailand that helps women find profitable work within their rural community, rather than leaving their families to work in the city.

Today, nearly 200 women work from home to assemble and sew these decorations. The workshop is proud to be a member of the BAFTS (British Association of Fair Trade Suppliers) and supports the 10 principles of fair trade as outlined by the World Fair Trade Organization.
