"Caribbean Craft finds ecological uses for recycled material. We transform the ordinary into the extraordinary — we recycle metal, paper and plastic."

"See through the eyes of Haitian artisans, and you'll realize that Haiti is more than a story of poverty, dysfunctional... politics, and climate disasters." —Magalie Noel Dresse, founder
Established in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Caribbean Craft is a sustainable home décor brand that aims to strengthen isolated artisan communities by exporting papier-mâché handicrafts created from upcycled paper. As Haiti's largest craft exporter, Caribbean Craft supports dozens of artisans in need of employment, design training, and market linkages.

"Caribbean Craft was founded in 2006, but our story really began when I went to grade school," says Magalie Noel Dresse, the brand's creator. "Across the street from my school was an artist's workshop that drew me in from grade one. After class, I had to wait quite a long time before my parents picked me up, so I usually scurried over to this artist's studio and watched him create and sell. I was captivated by both sides of his work but never fully understood why he sold products at such low prices when each item took two weeks minimum to make; he barely made a living. This frustrated me and is what first stoked my interest in the handmade sector."

"Decades later, Caribbean Craft was founded with the goal of providing higher wages and better working conditions for craftspeople across the country. Our creative vision followed suit and arose from a mixture of chance and intention. One of our artisans was from Jacmel, a town in southern Haiti famous for elevating the craft of papier-mâché masks made from upcycled paper. Masks are most popular during Jacmel's annual Kanaval (Carnival), when the city's residents take to the streets and wear fantastic papier-mâché masks and costumes. As this artisan was teaching me how to make masks, I thought: why not create decorative papier-mâché items not only for the street but also for the home?"

"Caribbean Craft now harnesses the full potential of papier-mâché craft, designing and creating all sorts of decorative objects for the home, like vases, bowls, sculptures, and wall hangings. Our designs and colors vary from minimalist to organic and from rainbow to black and white."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
