SLATE + SALT was founded by Lyndsay, an avid traveler who felt the need to share her stories and finds with the world. Through extensive travel to developing countries, she fell in love with the people, the cultures and the craftsmanship of pieces that apply traditional techniques to modern designs. She recognized the beauty of traditional craftsmanship over goods mass produced in factories, and saw a chance to give artisans in rural villages a worldwide customer base.
Through frequent trips and partnerships with Fair Trade cooperatives, Lyndsay fosters relationships that bring ever changing designs to globally minded nomads. SLATE + SALT says it works closely with small social enterprises to create dignified work in areas of extreme poverty, helping rural artisans support their families and stay in their own communities.
