One of Biome Lifestyle’s most popular products is our lovely recycled wire heart and butterfly
photo holders.
The holders are made by hand by the artisans of Noah’s Ark in Moradabad, India. Noah’s Ark was founded in 1986 and was based on the principle of encouraging traditional crafts whilst also establishing honest relationships with artisans. Artisans would also be paid a fair wage for their work. Noah’s Ark is an excellent example of the ways in which fair trade can make a difference in the lives of individual artisans and their communities.
Noah’s Ark now exports all over the world and has gone from strength to strength since 1986. In 2000 Noah’s Handicrafts & Welfare Society was formed with the association of artisans to look into Artisan Welfare, Capacity Building, Children’s education, community and social work.
The growth of Noah’s Ark is thanks to the fantastic artisans who use their well-established skills to create beautiful and good quality products. The strong ethical ethos of Noah’s Ark also means that their artisans and surrounding community benefit from every order, which is why here at Biome Lifestyle we love re-ordering their goods time after time!
