Our collections weave together rich craft and fresh design to create a unique fusion of heritage and modernity.
Learn MoreCraftsmanship & Heritage
When refugees flee, they carry with them the traditions, skills, knowledge, and craftsmanship. From the leather work of the Tuareg to the fine embroidery of the Syrians - MADE51 creates a way for refugees to sustain artistic traditions and preserve their culture.
Income & Opportunity
Refugees often leave behind their livelihood when fleeing violence. MADE51 offers refugee artisans a way to earn an income, and in doing, the opportunity to rebuild their livelihood and re-establish their independence.
Participation & Economic Inclusion
Through MADE51 refugees have a way to harness their artisanal skills and participate in the global economy, which allows them to add value to their host communities and secure their own futures.

"Refugees have skills and talents that only need a chance to grow and flourish. Within each piece lies a story of history and culture, and the chance for a person who has fled war and persecution to offer something of beauty and style to the world."
- Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees
