Have you ever shopped at NOVICA? I had the pleasure of being introduced to the online store a few weeks ago and have to say it is amazing. I have never honestly shopped at another place quite like it EVER.
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, gives artisans around the WORLD a place to express their incredible talents and is a leading provider of fine art, fair trade corporate gifts, and elegant home decor. NOVICA supplies a bridge between you and over 2,000 master artists whose wonderful handcrafted works of art you normally would never get the chance to view or purchase.
The online company gives you the opportunity to learn about the artists lives, explore fascinating cultures, and browse more than 30,000 unique gifts including green gifts, exquisite handbags, apparel, beautiful handmade jewelry, sculptures, carved wood furniture, and more!
Handbags
Take a glance at just one of the beautiful handbags you kind find at NOVICA.
This handbag was made by Musrrat Ali who was brought up in a small village in Uttar Pradesh. Alli, a son of a farmer, learned the art of making handbags in only a few months! The “Enchanted Silver” hand bag can be purchased at NOVICA for only $39.99! If you would like to read about Musrrat Ali and see more of his incredible handbags you can go here.
Corporate Gifts
I also wanted to share with you a couple of the awesome fair trade corporate gifts you can get at NOVICA. If you are looking for a gift to impress your client or show your employee how much you appreciate him/her, you can find it at NOVICA.
This is a Saa paper desk set “New Correspondence” made by Nikom.
The set comes with a beautiful writing pad including 25 sheets of mulberry paper and a matching picture frame. The “New Correspondence” is currently on sale for $38.66! Read more about Nikom and view more of his handcrafted items here.
How about adding some class to your office with this stunning mahogany and leather chest?
The “Garlands” chest contains dazzling brass floral hardware, leather garlands, and is handcrafted from mahogany wood. It was made by Eduardo Asis and family. The “Garlands” chest is a great value at $92.95!
Eco-friendly Gifts
You didn’t think I was going to go without mentioning and showing a few eco-friendly gifts did you?
I found the Midnight Dress ($35.96) made by Jariya Kakaew to be very lovely
and the Serene Soul necklace ($29.66) crafted by Yupaporn to be gorgeous!
I have not decided what I am going to purchase with my gift certificate yet because there is just pages upon pages of unique items to look through. I am having tons of fun reading about the artists and amazed by the talent they possess. NOVICA is a truly special place and a wonderful source for hard to find gifts offered at a great price!
