Welcome.
We are a shop and gallery committed to offering exquisite, authentic items from Asia and around the world. Asian World Imports supports many social justice intiatives and is proud to give back to small communities in a variety of ways.
We are committed to Fair Trade principles. Fair Trade is a market based approach to alleviating global poverty and promoting business which is good for the environment. Please visit the Fair Trade Resource Network for more information.
Our collection spans 40 years of travel in Asia. The beauty and tradition of many Asian cultures is evident in our collection. Please contact us if you are looking for something specific or have questions – as always, we are happy to help.
We are constantly adding new products! Please check back regularly. Please email us for information on unique hand made sheet paper from Nepal and Thailand. We are proud to be involved in projects all over the globe. Be sure to check out our bags from the Ubushobozi Project in Rwanda.
