“Metta”, a word originating in ancient India, means “loving kindness”. It also means, benevolence, fellowship, amity, accord, sympathy and love. It’s a lifestyle concept and a cornerstone of our business. When we launched Metta 10, we wanted it to be more than just an online artisanal marketplace. Our goal is to put compassion into practice and promote social consciousness and thoughtful consumerism through a platform we enjoy – travel, design, art, and fashion. We meticulously search for global and local makers to find the most beautiful handmade décor and fashion that reflects the soul of each producer and exemplifies the tenets of fair trade, sustainability or humanitarianism. By purchasing goods from Metta 10, you are supporting and sustaining communities around the world, generating meaningful income for global artisans, and promoting ethical practices that make a difference. It’s loving kindness in action and a new paradigm of “impact” shopping. We are proudly a women-owned and women-led business.
