IN HER WORDS

The work that Ibu does for women and their families in developing countries, for the environment, and to develop and enhance an appreciation of the handmade in the western world—as well as an appreciation of the richness of cultural diversity and artistic expression—is truly magnificent to me. I love that I have the craftsmanship of women from all over the world in my home, and that I feel gratitude and a connection and concern for them.

Elizabeth
Ibu Customer

This is a magical project, which is changing lives of women all over the world... it is all about Heart. I love everything about it, and I am honored to be a part of it.

Ali MacGraw
Actress, Activist, Author + Distinguished Ibu Designer

My greatest wish is for [women artisans] to know what JOY their beautiful designs, creations, and craftsmanship bring to other women all over the world.... I want them to know that their voices are being celebrated and their stories ARE being heard and cherished through their designs, hard work, and collaboration with Ibu!

Alyson Cambridge
Celebrated Soprano

Ibu is a project of the heart, founded in 2014, bringing together two things I care about deeply: putting money in the hands of women, and preserving women’s rich languages of craft.

Susan Hull Walker
Ibu Founder and Creative Director

The women artisans here in Pakistan feel a connection to the Ibu customers; and the craft has been an invisible bridge between the two worlds which are not really that different as far as women are concerned.

Samina Mahmud
Sheworks Founder, Pakistan

This is what I have been praying for for so long. Someone to guide us, consult with us, to help us know what to do next and how; to be with us somehow. Thank you.
