About Us

We're incredibly excited to have our collection available in the UK! The WorldFinds brand can be found in over 900 independent shops and museum stores across the US, and we look forward to growing our partnerships with shops throughout the UK.

WorldFinds mission is to empower women through fair trade. Our jewelry and accessories create work for over 700 artisans in vulnerable communities in India. These thoughtful designs and sustainable practices bring change to the lives of the artisans, provide a bright future for their children, and strengthen their communities. We’re a { mostly } women-powered brand that began in 2001. We design all of our items in-house, and love to work collaboratively - both here at our office in the states as well as with our amazing artisans halfway around the world. You can find us in over 900 stores in the US, and a growing number around the world.

Made By Hand

All of our products are handmade with love, providing a living wage, safe working conditions to our artisans, as well as the preservation of the techniques and culture behind Kantha.

Eco-Friendly

All of our Kantha products are handcrafted from wooden scraps from furniture factories and repurposed Sari and Kantha textiles. This reduces waste while improving lives for our artisans.

Empowers Women

WorldFinds is not only woman-owned, but women-powered. We are committed to empowering our women artisan partners, their families & their communities through fair trade.

Our Story

WorldFinds was conceptualized in the middle of a 14-month backpack trip around the world, way back in 1999. Founder Kelly Weinberger and her husband David Burns had taken a sabbatical and traveled throughout various parts of Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and finally Asia, where they spent time in India and Nepal and Kelly first learned about fair trade – and had her lightbulb moment. She dreamed of creating a business that existed to do good, that was based on partnership, collaboration, great design, kindness and respect for humans and the environment. A business that would address the root cause of poverty – a lack of work.The combination of dreaming, doing and persistence has resulted in who we are today, and all that you see here!
