Artisan -- Freden

For nearly 50 years, Freden has been a supplier of one-of-a-kind gifts, ornaments, and home goods. Hand crafted by skilled artisans based in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila in the Philippines, each piece is one of a kind, and made of natural products – mainly from already fallen and distressed wood. Freden provides each artisan the opportunity to work within their household, at their own time, enabling stay at home moms to earn an income in a way that works for them. What started as a family tradition – the founder’s father was a wood craft teacher – has developed into a fair-trade supplier of beautiful pieces to be treasured for years to come.
