Years of exotic, inspiring, soul-connected and 'excess-luggage' fuelled trips to Morocco, India, Mexico, Asia (etc) started the long-haul collectibles adventure of bringing cultural, travel experiences home...

Spirit Trader was born from a passion to share these stories, products, traditions and cultures with like-minded people who care about where their products come from, and who is making them. 

Our mission is to showcase and support cultural & creative artisans, who ethically produce beautiful products that tell a story, their story.  Created always with integrity, heart, spirit and soul.  Special for them and us, both.

From maker to market

Spirit Trader is a curated, cultural marketplace to celebrate, support and empower artisan crafts & communities of spirit.  

Our JIWA Collection proudly showcases Indonesian materials, crafts and makers, gorgeous people & communities who we’ve personally dealt with for many years of living locally. 

We support a range of artisan makers from small, upcoming sole traders to established, family-run businesses supporting their communities.  From small villages to islands across the full archipelago, women-specific training initiatives to multi-generational, family businesses.

 

From their hands and home, to yours

From maker to market, from exotic cultures to local creatives, we bring you these products created proudly by hand.  

From traditional Ikat weaving in Sumba, Rote or Lombok, Timorese carving, sustainable Javanese teak crafting or rattan weaving across Lombok and Bali, all products are truly unique and personal. Uniquely individual, one of a kind.

Every purchase has an impact

Every purchase made helps support them further, our collective support will tangibly grow with bigger initiatives as we grow.

We hope you love exploring, experiencing, collecting or sharing these stories of craft, makers, cultures and community.

And here we are....

Spirit Trader is fuelled by passion to help deliver purpose and impact.

Created to showcase unique crafts & cultures from our favourite travels and bring a part of these unique experience home with us. 

Special purchases that have impact.  Supporting local makers and artisans who in turn support their families, communities and more.  Showcasing local materials, craftsmanship, multi-generational and community traditions.  Uniquely crafted in special regions and countries. 

Our products are beautiful and beautifully made, but the people who made them are the true difference and unique story that makes them so special.  Handmade, soul-full, impactful... made with heart, from their hands and home, to yours.
