🌿 Handmade with Heritage: The Story Behind Our JUST Stoneware Collection
Did you know our JUST Stoneware Dinnerware is handcrafted in Thimi, Nepal, one of the oldest pottery-making villages? 🏺✨ For generations, artisans of the Newar Kumale caste have passed down this incredible craft. But in today’s fast-paced world, traditional skills are fading. That’s why NE Nepal, led by Ishu Dhakras & Tulja Kedia, is working to revive this heritage—ensuring artisans earn fair wages, receive skilled training, and have sustainable careers. Every handcrafted piece supports ethical craftsmanship and low-impact production. Make your home a reflection of heritage and sustainability. 🌏💛 📌 Save this pin to support handmade craftsmanship!

Beadwork
The intricate and colorful patterns with crystal beads are weaved by women from the EMBERA CHAMI community. The pieces have a design pattern, a symbolic reference, a ritual situation, which operate as a mental template that women attribute to collective memory and define as a legacy of the elderly. The community is located in the mountains of Antioquia.

Make Your Own Lime Cordial – The Sustainable Way
Sunshine + fresh citrus = the perfect pairing. We've been loving this homemade lime cordial recipe – it's simple, refreshing, and so versatile. 🌿 Use it as a cooling drink with soda + ice 🍸 Or mix with gin for a classic gimlet – rumoured to be invented by Sir Thomas Gimlette to keep 19th-century sailors from getting scurvy 🍋⚓ Best part? It’s even easier to make with our new Olive Wood Lemon Squeezer, handmade by artisans in Palestine. Each one is unique, natural, and built to last. A little beauty for your kitchen — and a big win for ethical craftsmanship. #SoJustShop #SustainableLiving #EthicalHomeware #LimeCordial #GinLovers #FairTrade #EcoKitchen #SummerVibes #SupportArtisans #OliveWood #HandmadeHome #CitrusSeason #PalestinianCeramics #GimletCocktail
