Philosophy
All of our goods bring love and light to both to their consumer and their creator. Each piece is a continuation of a tradition fighting for survival. It is pure passion.Our team sources all our pieces from local artisans working in private shops or small family owned factories in different countries and remote towns and communities all around the world.To be YaYa is to be at peace within ourselves and within all that surrounds us. It transcends the academic and challenges the philosophical. It's doing the right thing simply because it's right. A YaYa home brings renewal to exhaustion, relief to tension and compassion to judgment. We can exhale, because we are home.Sustainability to YaYa is not only creating products that improves our environment but hand-picking pieces that can be passed on from generation to generation; grandparents to parents, parents to children and so on.True quality that bridges the gap between everyday home goods and heirlooms.
INVESTING IN COMMUNITY
Our work in Punjab, India
In Punjab, India, women face extremely difficult times. Often times women are looked upon as second class citizens, receiving little to no education and having very few opportunities to grow as their own people. Because this is a community that has given us the opportunity to create some of our favorite items, we’ve invested in the community and built a center for women.Our institute in Punjab teaches trades to these less fortunate women so they can learn and practice skills that will make them self sufficient and independent, productive members of the community. We go beyond our center and offer them real life employment upon completing their training. To enrich this population to become skillful and self-sufficient we are enabling a better quality of life for many people and families.Our next project is a similar one which we are starting in Divisa Nova, MG, Brazil.
