I love finding brands and shops that support something beyond just beautiful merchandise. I’ve featured some amazing local Seattle brands on the blog before because I love every opportunity to highlight a company that is doing some good in the world.
Enter Tall Pine Mercantile. Tall Pine Mercantile is local to Seattle but features artisans all over the world! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Olivia, and upon meeting her I immediately felt her passion and love for the pieces she sells but also the pride in being able to share where they come from. Each piece has a story. Let me share with you some of my favorites!
Tall Pine Mercantile gives 10% of every sale to organizations that help to empower woman to live their best life.ย
Woven in Turkey and made of soft cotton with hand knotted tassels this Turkish Towel is everything! These towels are the perfect price point ($39) and make such a special gift! They are super light weight and make the perfect cover-up, throw blanket, picnic blanket, or beach towel!
Handcrafted in Ghana, these beautiful baskets foster community development and provide a means of income for marginalized women. Traditional wickerwork and locally-sourced materials make up these beautiful baskets, perfect for the farmers market!
These beautiful bags are made with Ivahona in Madagascar and help provide income for marginalized women, many who are single mothers, and help them stay above poverty. It is also super functional with an attached mini bag on the inside to store small items!
