PEBBLE
Pebble products are made by Hathay Bunano, a company started back in 2004 by Samantha Morshead MBE. On moving to Bangladesh, Samantha saw the incredible poverty so started teaching the women knitting and crocheting skills. Soon her vision of bringing sustainable and flexible employment to rural and disadvantaged women became real.
Following WFTO accrediation, Pebble is currently the only guaranteed fair trade crochet toys in the world. It now employs over 5,000 women in 52 different regions of Bangladesh, and handmade products are still at the core of the business.
The employment is very much community based - the women are paid fairly and the work is flexible - they enjoy getting together to work, chat and share.
It's lovely to see these women with incredibly skilled hands able to work close to their homes, keeping families together and preventing the need for economic relocation to the cities.
And when every piece is made by hand they are all unique, meaning no two pieces will be exactly the same - you could say each one is a work of art!
A lot of brands have imitated Pebble over the years, but we're proud to stock the brand that first made crocheted fruit rattles popular! Still one of our bestselling ranges for babies, they keep coming up with new ideas to keep their artisans in Bangladesh busy, and babies entertained!

I bought my friend’s secret Santa gift from here and everything was perfect - the package was ordered and arrived within the stated time, the packaging was eco friendly and the products were just fantastic. I love that this company is doing something ethical, quietly and without a fuss but that it does it to the absolute best of its ability and exactly what you’d expect. Plus from looking at the website it’s a team of dedicated and fabulous women (and Lola the dog!) who are committed to what they do.
I’d definitely recommend and will be ordering again!
Item exactly as described and delivered well packed and on time as promised, thank you :)
