Global Affairs

Founded in 1998 by Annette Klein Bog, Global Affairs has grown into a small but enthusiastic team of creators. Based in Amsterdam, they work with small-scale producers in China, Peru, Sri Lanka, and India producing mostly handmade items and working with certified makers only to ensure fair trade working standards and a focus on sustainability.

With soft toys, hair accessories, party items and jewellery designs for children, each product is produced in a fairtrade way and their design process is focused on ways to use better, more sustainable materials and techniques.

“We take inspiration from anything around us, close to home, far away, sometimes in our own grown up world, but mainly in the kids universe. Twice a year, we turn this inspiration into a cheerful and quirky collection.”
