The GlobeIn Artisan Box Club is a subscription that sends handcrafted products from around the world. All items are produced either by collectives that are fair trade certified or that respect and adhere to fair trade principles. All artisans and farmers whose products are distributed by GlobeIn are paid a fair wage for their products.

GlobeIn has revamped their product line and now offers all subscriptions to the Artisan Box Club! The previous subscriptions are now under 4 Artisan Club Box levels: Premium, Deluxe, Essential and Starter. Premium and Deluxe boxes are $33 and $25 per month, respectively, while Essential and Starter boxes are both $10 per month each.

The former “Artisan Box” ($33) is now the Premium level, and the former “GlobeIn Club” ($10) is now the Essential level.

Along with all of the lovely items in the box, the Artisan Box includes a booklet that gives details about each of the artists responsible for the items in the box.

DEAL: Get a free hand-painted mug with any new Premium GlobeIn Membership. Use coupon code FREEMUG.

The theme for this box is Buzzed. Artisan Box subscribers have a selection of themes from which to choose. This way, artisans will be able to meet GlobeIn’s needs while also having longer, steady work as they continue to produce items for the Artisan Box.

GlobeIn is committed to empowering artisans around the world, and that’s why they’ve included the artisans’ stories along with each product’s description in the booklet.

They’ve also included candid shots or portraits of each artist in their work environment.

There are suggestions at the bottom of the page, which helps you maximize the use of each product.

I love reading this booklet, it’s a great way to learn about the artisans and communities this subscription has helped to support.

Many artisans have inspiring stories, like Juana who joined the GlobeIn weaving team in 2017 and quickly became an artisan leader.

I just love how they were able to put the items together and present them an attractive way!

All items were carefully packaged in the box.

Everything in the BUZZED box!

Palm Leaf Basket – Mexico. Artisans from Mexico are great weavers! This basket featuring navy blue patterns is just wonderful. It can be used for organizing your things in home, as well as in storing treats, small toys, and whatnots.

Oaxaca in Mexico is where most palm trees can be found. The artisans first collect the palm leaves, then they dye them. Each basket takes 2-3 hours to weave, as the artisans have incredibly fast finger movement!

Zapotec Coasters – Mexico. Unlike the usual cork coasters, these zapotec coasters from Mexico are more stylish. They’re hand woven too!

The native pattern is really beautiful, while the coaster itself is thick and textured. It matches our navy blue palm leaf basket!

Jigger – India. A jigger is an hourglass shaped measuring device, mostly used by bartenders to ensure that they pour the proper amount of alcohol when mixing a drink. This jigger has one side that measures around 1 fl. oz. (approx 30 ml) and the other side measures 0.5 fl. oz. (approx 15 ml).

It’s made of stainless steel. Aside from cocktail mixing, the jigger can also be used to measure other liquids. But mostly the large side. For the tequila.

Wine Charms – India. These delicate wine charms are meant for you to easily identify your beverage.

The charms look like bracelets, as they come with blue and turquoise beads. One of them also has a silver fish accent, while the other has a silver elephant accent. They can be placed on the glass stem.

The glasses were wrapped for safety.

Martini Glasses – Mexico. Two martini glasses which are handcrafted by skilled artisans from Tonala, Mexico. . I also like to call these margarita glasses.

The brims are in blue, which coordinates with the rest of the box’s contents.

The glasses already look great, but adding the wine charms made them even more gorgeous. A wine night sounds great with the use of everything that comes in this wonderful box! Do you drink like a fish or an elephant?

GlobeIn Artisan Box never fails to amaze me with their curation. I like how every item complemented each other and I can’t wait to be able to use all of these for a great cocktail night! Another thing that I love about this subscription is that they support local artisans around the globe. For this curation, the basket is a given favorite so what I’m excited about are the martini glasses and the glass charms, plus the coasters. They really give an elegant statement when put together and I love the color choice!
