Founded in 2006, Nest has been a leading advocate for the handcraft sector for more than 15 years. We believe in the power of craft to advance gender equity and economic equality through handcraft. 

Craft—the second largest employer of women around the world—holds the power to educate children, feed families, build communities, and unite cultures. This is why we are committed to supporting artisans, makers, and creative entrepreneurs by bringing radical transparency and economic opportunity to the global handcraft sector.
