"So why is it, when we enjoy things that are made with such passion & purpose, we wouldn't ensure some pride & dignity for the people who actually make them?"

Melanie Strathdee – founder Leo & Lotus

Comfort in all forms matters greatly in human lives

Leo & Lotus nourish the western desire for luxury; at the same time we honour and affirm the dignity of human life.

We aim to give you a deeper understanding of the collection of energies that journey together to bring you our exquisite pieces. Behind each Leo & Lotus piece, you will find the story of the artisan who made it and a fragment about their life.

Leo & Lotus’s main aim is to redistribute wealth. Rather than ending up in the pockets of the already wealthy, all Leo & Lotus profits, not 10 cents in each dollar of profit, are reinvested in the countries and the communities of the talented artisans who craft the products we bring to you. Love what you buy knowing that you have given when you receive.

Our aim is to make a profound contribution to the world. Leo & Lotus aim to do this by making the perfect exchange. The love, dignity & energy that go into our products are exchanged for your respect and generosity for the artisans who created them.

We are not a charity, we are not a company. We are one of a new breed of corporately driven, socially oriented organizations that are springing up around the world. We simply give back all profits to the artisans who created them, so they may have the dignity of clean drinking water, an education and hope.

We think this is a reflection of our times and a call for a more honest world.

Help us define a new generosity. Be part of creating a balanced world.
