daf•nei works with and represents a group of independent Haitian artisans to bring the craftmanship and stunning creativity of this original line to the fashionable streets of NY and the world.
We carry a one-of-a-kind collection of handmade bags and accessories by Haiti's finest artisans. From personal and collective ideas to traditional vèvè symbols, the original designs are the artisans' creations.
The Handbags-
Each bag is assembled, sewn, and beaded by hand. The visible stitches mark the uniqueness and charm of each piece. Feminine, stylish and funky, these bags are guaranteed to turn heads and strike up conversation.
The Decorative Bottles-
Perfect for your home and office, and also great gifts. Each bottle is covered with an original design of sequins and beads. These pieces add life and Haiti's vibrant, distinct look to any space. The artisans use repurposed bottles for these unique art pieces.
The Artisans-
All of the artisans we deal with work from homes or from a collective atelier run by fellow artisans. None of the artisans work in sweatshop settings, and all are paid at a fair-trade price.
