NOVICA's New Digital Website + $25 Novica GC #Giveaway

11:00 AM   ,   46 comments

I love finding a place that has such a wide variety of unique gifts and beautiful things. The first time I found NOVICA's website, I was drawn to their gorgeous designs of hammocks. I love the colors and have had my eyes on the Maya Rainbow hammock forever! Maybe it reminds me of the colors of my country.

I would love to relax in a hammock one day with a book and a sunset. No worries. Just no worries. This is the place to purchase unique home decor.

A National Geographic affiliated fashion and home décor website, Novica has quietly become the world’s largest curated marketplace of handmade goods with over 30,000 products from around the globe. A fair trade brand committed to sustainability, Novica connects artisans directly with customers for value added pricing. To date they have sent over $46 million to artisans around the world to preserve the arts in a mass produced world.

Novica is presenting their new digital experience to the world. Novica’s new site is modern and fast, yet still holds true to our artisan crafted roots.  It feels like Gilt or One Kings Lane meets National Geographic.  Best of all is our fair trade mission to help undiscovered artists around the world, which we have been doing for over a decade.

About our product:
Sourced from around the globe, each handmade product listed on Novica goes through a certification program to guarantee the 100% premium quality of each item. We practice fair trade, so none of the artists are charged any fees for listing their items on the website. Artists remain fully independent – they are free to raise prices, lower them, or remove the items from the website. Novica has cut out the middleman, adding value to both the artisans and customers.

I might be in this league some day if I ever learn to make something like gorgeous poncho from their alpaca ponchos line.

    I like the way they wrap their items!! We got a panpipe from them that I want to give my son for Christmas, but it's wrapped so pretty I haven't (and probably won't) open it, so we'll all be seeing it for the first time here, on Christmas morning. :)
