Founded in April 2000, Om Gallery has been working with family industries in Asia and around the world. We promote fair trade, condem demonic working conditions and enjoy helping Cooperative Cottage Industries in developing countries. Every article of Om Gallery merchandise is handmade by one of our many families of tailors, cobblers, lantern makers and lamp makers. We enjoy many meals with our partners, many laughs and the satisfaction of knowing that everything we make is handmade with an agreed price that is profitable to our partners. Many people ask about how or where our merchandise is made and under what conditions. Well, our friends name a cost for our design and then the entire family and their partners go to work. In 2002 three of our partner families built new homes and workshops to employ more villagers. These partners are all very good personal friends of mine and our survival depends on each other, therefore making us closer and trusting.
Om Gallery is a worldwide distributor with over 100 retailers in the U.S. We also have two retail outlets on the central Californian Coast:
805 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95060
Promote fair trade, fair labor practices and PEACE EVERYWHERE,
