Impact marketplace Novica launches in UK
Impact marketplace Novica has launched in the UK.
The dedicated website will enable UK shoppers to order handmade, fair trade products from thousands of remote artists and artisans from around the world for delivery direct to their doorsteps.
Novica’s eight global “artisan empowerment hubs” allow individual artists and artisans to list their handmade wares and benefit from services such as standardised measurements, photography, quality control, packing and gift wrapping, as well as international shipping and returns. Novica also provides business counselling to participating artisans and interest-free microcredit loans.
Roberto Milk, Novica chief executive, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome everyone in the UK to join us on this journey of artistic discovery called Novica. We invite UK shoppers to beautify their lives with exceptional handmade works of art while at the same time making a significant difference in the lives of talented artisans worldwide.”
Novica’s most popular handmade categories include fair trade jewellery, gifts, handmade fashions and home decor. The platform also features more than 4,000 original fine art paintings on any given day.
