In the gardens of Tunisia's Cap Bon peninsula, among citrus, roses, vines and jasmine, craftsmen have passed down a deeply ancient pottery tradition for generations. Gharyan Stoneware begins there as clay that Gharyan describes as pure and mineral-rich, fed by the Mediterranean Sea, and is shaped by the artisans who carry that tradition today.
Gus founded Gharyan Stoneware after meeting the collection's designer, Nelson Sepulveda, whose work has been featured for years with luxury brands such as Hermès and Le Bon Marché. Nelson's goal was to create not only the product but also the image and ethics of the collection, looking at how each piece is made as well as what is made.
Gharyan says it believes in sustainable and fair trade and works only with partners who share its values. All of its products are made in Tunisia, where it says the people it works with have social insurance, eight-hour days and five-day weeks, enrollment with the Tunisian National Labour Union and safe working conditions, and that it uses no child labor.
