Handmade in Tunisia by Le Souk Olivique for Sobremesa by Greenheart
"Who made this product? This fair trade wooden utensil was sourced directly from the Mediterranean coast in Nabeul, Tunisia by artisans of Le Souk Olivique whose long standing tradition informs how they hand carve their olivewood products.
"Why is it ethical? Sobremesa by Greenheart works directly with the artisans to ensure fair trade principles are upheld. These artisans forgo machines, decals, and stencils in favor of freehand artistry, which makes each piece in Sobremesa’s exclusive line truly one-of-a-kind. Le Souk Olivique provides steady work and skills for their artisans and their reliance on human ingenuity over machinery better serves our environment." [source: Sobremesa]
