The simple truth is that I was born into a life of travel and appreciating handmade beauties. With artist parents and three nationalities, it's no wonder I continue to be drawn to special pieces at every marketplace.

While the essence of what we do as Kakaw Designs lies in collaborative design and long-lasting relationships, sometimes special handmade treasures catch my eye... so I thought I'd dedicate a small corner of this website to such treasures sourced in-person at rural markets, direct from local vendors and makers. These pieces are all new. Because these were lucky "finds" we may not be able to find anything similar ever again.

I hope you like these finds as much as I do.
