QUBILA MEANS “TRIBE – A GROUP OF PEOPLE”
We strive to bring local artisan communities and the products they create to the forefront, enabling them to thrive in this increasingly globalized world.
We at Qubila love thoughtfully handcrafted artisan products – we hope you do too!
Our site features a collection of sustainably-sourced, ethically-made pieces ranging from furniture to all lifestyle products and accessories. Our products are crafted from natural, eco-friendly materials including cane, rattan, cotton and recycled wood. Designed in New Zealand, each item is painstakingly made by hand by our partner artisans and features a blend of intricate traditional techniques and modern design.
We stand on the pillars of design, tradition, and inclusion. As a social enterprise, we work with communities in the India to bring beautifully handcrafted pieces into the NZ market. Our makers are spread across the country, each with craft specific to culture, methods, and materials native to their region. We aim to provide more than just livelihood – through our partnership with local artisans, we hope to help uplift their status, develop their confidence and sense of self-worth, and uphold their dignity as human persons.
Handmade with love – always,
QUBILA
