The Pebble brand of fair trade crochet and knitted toys is part of Hathay Bunano, set up back in 2004 by Samantha Morshead who had a vision of creating stable sutainable rural jobs through the creation of a real business enterprise. Samantha was honoured with an MBE for her work in 2009. The business now employs over 5,000 women in 52 different regions of Bangladesh, and Samantha is passionate about the ethos of handmade. All too often, industrial machines wade in, when handmade would be quicker, better and more cost effective. The wonderful knitted goods are handmade with great care and skill by women in rural areas of Bangladesh. Rural jobs that are fairly paid, good quality, flexible and fair! Pebble toys and gifts create employment opportunities for artisans that are within a 5-10 minute walk from their homes but at the same time provides a safe and complient working environment. Employment that fits in with the artisans rural way of life rather than employment which dictates the rhythm of their lives.
Pebble offers a beautiful gift for young children, traditionally made with a contemporary design twist. Parents and children love Pebble crochet and handknitted childrens toys.
