If you are looking for truly beautiful, environmentally friendly gifts, home wares and accessories, you can’t go past The Dharma Door. Apart from providing exquisite handcrafted products, we completely support Fair Trade, with our range created by artisans in developing countries such as India, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, South Africa and Bangladesh.

Fair Trade ensures that these wonderful and talented people are paid consistently fair wages which allows them the opportunity to educate their children, access healthcare and give back to their own communities. We believe there is simply no other way to do business!

While we do buy products that are traditional to each region, we are actively involved in assisting artisans design items that are marketable in Australia. These artisans create their works using an array of cotton, silk, wool, natural dyes, jute, bamboo, recycled rubber and plastic and the end results are truly remarkable.

The Dharma Door has recently taken a new direction in the products we source, and aim to focus mainly on eco-friendly items either produced with natural sustainable materials or recycled materials, as using these materials enables the artisans to take care of their local and the global environment.

This exciting new collection features coiled recycled poster bowls, eco-friendly natural throws, hand printed eco and natural journals, raw silk and recycled book bags, recycled newspaper coasters and daisy garlands, jute shopping bags and baskets and recycled rubber door mats.

And for the fashion conscious, exquisite recycled cosmetic purses, totes, document cases, purses and woollen and silk stoles in an array of fabulous and vibrant colours.

We are also distributors (QLD only) of Earth Greetings cards, Mokosh body products, Cocolo chocolate, Universal Village and Hampstead teas.

Our aim is to provide products with integrity and collections that are truly unique. We wholesale directly to retail stores nationally and our range is also available for sale on-line.

I have been particularly impressed with her high standard of ethics towards both her customers and producers. She is obviously motivated not by profit alone but by creating a truly ethical business.
