Fair Trade & Ethical Craftsmanship

At What a Host Home, we believe that every candle holder, serving tray, coaster, or cutlery set should not only elevate your home but also make a positive impact on the world. That’s why we are deeply committed to Fair Trade principles, working only with artisans and workshops that uphold ethical practices and treat their makers with dignity, respect, and fair pay. We collaborate with skilled artisans from small villages in India to vibrant craft hubs across East Asia, building long-term partnerships based on trust, transparency, and shared values. Our metal home accessories, including brass napkin rings, iron candle holdersstainless steel cutlery, and aluminium serving trays, are all handcrafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations. These methods preserve cultural heritage while producing truly unique home décor pieces that cannot be replicated by mass production.

Supporting Communities Through Fair Trade

Our artisan partners are co-creators in our vision. Fair Trade ensures they receive fair compensation, safe working conditions, and the opportunity to continue their craft for future generations. Each handcrafted tableware piece, whether it’s a metal coaster or serving platter, carries the skill, pride, and cultural story of its maker. By choosing Fair Trade home accessories, you are helping sustain entire communities.

Sustainable Materials, Lasting Beauty

We take great care in sourcing eco-friendly and sustainable materials, from brass and iron to stainless steelaluminium, and responsibly sourced wood, marble, and travertine. These durable materials not only bring timeless style to your home but also reduce waste through their long lifespan and recyclability. Our homeware is designed to be cherished for years, offering both elegance and environmental responsibility.
