A Note from Me

At Rochambeau Home, every item I curate or craft tells a story. One of the partnerships I treasure most is with Asha Handicrafts, a fair trade organization in India that empowers artisans and preserves traditional craftsmanship.

Supporting Artisans and Communities

Asha Handicrafts represents over 6,500 artisans across 10 states in India, providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for community development. Many of these artisans come from marginalized communities, where access to education, healthcare, and stable income can be limited. By choosing to carry Asha products, I can support their work and help create sustainable livelihoods for skilled craftspeople.

Preserving Traditional Craftsmanship

The artisans I work with through Asha Handicrafts carry on centuries-old techniques—from handwoven textiles to intricate embroidery and decorative pieces. Each item reflects care, skill, and cultural heritage. I love offering these products at Rochambeau Home because they bring uniqueness and story to every home, gift, or celebration.

Why I Choose Fair Trade

For me, conscious consumerism isn’t just a philosophy—it’s a way of living. By choosing fair trade products like those from Asha Handicrafts, I know that every purchase contributes to fair wages, ethical practices, and sustainable production. It’s a way to make a positive impact while also enjoying beautiful, meaningful items.

Why Shop with Me

When you shop at Rochambeau Home, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting artisans, ethical craftsmanship, and a small business that values intention and care. Each Asha Handicrafts item you bring home connects you to a story, a culture, and a community, while bringing beauty and individuality to your life.
