Our goal is simple: keep the work going for the women behind every artisan home or accessory item we create — and pay them a real, living wage. Every woman who joins us carries the weight of everything she's had to leave behind — and the hope of starting again. As one finds her footing, another is just beginning that same journey, carrying that same hope in her heart. That's why this work will never really be finished — and why it matters so much. Holiday is on its way, so we're making room with our biggest sale of the season. 🧡

It's back-to-school, back-to-work season — new bags, new routines, and a whole lot of handbag charms on our feeds. 🧵

We love this trend. What you carry can say something about who you are, what you stand for. But so many of these little symbols of luxury never tell us who made them, or what it means for her daily life.

So we asked a different question: what if the charm on your bag was made by courage itself?

Meet the charm designed by refugee women rebuilding life from the unimaginable — one from Lebanon, one from Ukraine, one from Palestine, one from Thailand. Each woman brought her own meaning of courage into the design.

These charms are made by mothers through the Alsama Studio in Lebanon, where women hand-make each piece for independent income — income that helps keep their daughters in school and building a future of their own choosing.

One on your bag. One for a friend's. Courage was always meant to be shared — buy two, and pass one forward.

Invest in the Courage. Spend £50 and get the Power Purse, on us.

Some jewelry is just jewelry. This isn't. 🤍

Every Ethic Goods bracelet and necklace is handmade in Thailand by women who have survived human trafficking and exploitation. They earn a fair wage — steady, dignified work that's the difference between being at someone's mercy and standing on their own two feet.

Trafficking rarely looks like a headline. It usually looks like a promise — a job across the border, better pay, a way to feed your family. People are lured in with the offer of good work, and by the time they see the truth, they're already trapped. Without legal status or protection, they have no rights, and people with no rights are easy to control. That's how exploitation works — it doesn't need chains, just someone with nowhere else to turn. A fair wage changes that.

Each Morse Code piece spells out a word in dots and dashes — Peace, Breathe, Gratitude — so you carry the meaning with you. Made to stack, made to mean something.

Buy More, Give More: spend £50 and get the Power Purse free. Every pound goes toward women rebuilding after exploitation — finding safety, dignity, and steady work.

Today the sky goes dark over Western Europe. For a few minutes across northern Spain, the moon slides in front of the sun. Then the light comes back.

We think about transformation a lot at Love Welcomes.

Our Rwanda baskets are woven by women who know what it means to come through darkness. Survivors of the 1994 genocide. Women living with disabilities. Weaving gave them steady work, income above a living wage, and a way to heal side by side. Each basket holds hours of patience. Each one is a small act of return.

One basket is beautiful on its own. But group several together and a space transforms. Mix the sizes. Vary the heights. Cluster them on an outdoor table, line them along a patio wall, let the sunlight catch the weave. The shadows shift as the day moves.

Light always comes back.

Her Summer Favorites ☀️

Meet the two pieces our artisans reach for all season long, made through Ethic Goods. Ethic Goods creates dignified work for women refugees from Myanmar in Thailand, women leaving human trafficking in Thailand, and young people finding their first real jobs in Ethiopia.

From Ethiopia, the perfect summer bag. Handcrafted from ethical leather, light for the road and made for festivals and city travel. A luxury piece made for good.

From Thailand, the polka dot handbag charm. Upcycled from leftover silk, so nothing goes to waste and every one is unique. Small, bright, and right on point this summer.

In their words:
"Creating is healing. It supports us and our families. These are our go-to pieces for the season."

Together they carry a bigger story. Every purchase supports a woman or a young person rebuilding their life through fair, meaningful work.

Courage to Carry

The news from Kyiv this week has been hard to read. Night after night, missiles and drones over the city and the region around it. It has been one of the deadliest stretches for civilians since the war began.

The women of our Love Rises team live inside this. They knit through the sirens, through the power cuts, through the nights spent away from home. And they keep knitting.

Each Courage to Carry Charm is made by hand by the Love Rises team in Kyiv. Small enough to sit in your palm or clip to your bag. A reminder to keep going when going on feels impossible, held in your hand and made by hands that know exactly what that takes.

When you buy one, you are not sending charity. You are paying a woman in Kyiv for her skill and her craft. And you are helping us do more: emergency aid when it is needed most, and steady work that lets the Love Rises team keep providing for their families through the war.

Standing beside them while they do one of the bravest things there is. Carrying on.

75 years ago this week, the world agreed on a simple truth: people forced to flee deserve safety.

On 28 July 1951, the Refugee Convention was signed in Geneva. This week it turns 75. It gave us the right to claim asylum, the right to protection, and the right to begin again.

At Love Welcomes, we know what those rights look like in practice, because we have walked alongside women at every stage of the journey.

We have seen safety in the refugee camps of Greece, and the work of holding onto a future when everything is uncertain.

We have seen the first job in London. The pathway from arriving to belonging. Women contributing to UK society, from healthcare to childcare, and finding their footing through our creative workshops.

Today we work globally: inside the war in Ukraine, in refugee camps in Lebanon, and under occupation in the West Bank, Palestine.

Freedom of movement. The right to claim asylum. The right to a new beginning through employment, community, and safety. These are not abstract ideas to us. They are the women we work with every day.

And in every place, we have seen the same thing: resilience, creativity, and women who do not just seek a place in society but strengthen it.

75 years on, the promise of 1951 still matters. We are proud to help keep it.

🌿 Her Summer Favorites, from Palestine 🌿

Summer is about gathering — and our Palestinian artisans have shaped a table setting made for exactly that. Here's the story behind it, in their own words:

"Summer is about sharing with loved ones — over a picnic, a casual gathering, good food. We shape these bowls on a pottery wheel and hand-paint patterns that tell our story. The keffiyeh and olive branch represent our right to sea and land, and the livelihoods they give us.

In collaboration with the Darzah team, we built a full table setting around our ceramics. Tatreez is a tradition passed down for centuries — we think you'll love it on our olive linen placemats or our coaster set for your summer drinks."

Every bowl, every stitch of tatreez, is made by refugee and displaced women earning dignified, above-living-wage work. When you set your table with their craft, you carry their story to it. 🕊️

☀️ Her Summer Favorites, from Fiji ☀️

Meet the pieces our Fijian artisans are reaching for this season — and hear why they love them, in their own words:

"We take patterns from nature and handprint them by hand. This beach bag is one of our favorites — it brings two of our creative talents together in one piece: hand-printed on the outside, and a woven basket lining on the inside to sift the sand from your bag.

Pair it with our lightweight bucket hat, made to shade you from the summer sun. Here in Fiji, we feel the heat of a changing climate every day. This work — made with care for the environment — helps sustain us through it."

Every stitch and print is made by refugee and displaced women earning dignified, above-living-wage work. When you carry their craft, you carry their story. 🌿

Her Summer Favorites

Behind every piece we make is a woman with a story, a skill passed down through generations, and a vision for what she creates.

From hand-printed textiles in Fiji to pottery shaped on a wheel in the West Bank, our global network of artisans pours creativity, resilience, and hope into everything they make.

This summer, we asked them to share their favourite pieces of the season — and, in their own words, what it meant to create them.

Over the coming days we'll be sharing her favourites, and why. Swipe to see some of the featured pieces. →
