Beautiful Beads and Bags

Welcome!
Treehouse has a wonderful new collection of beaded jewelry and hand bags, including messenger bags and clutches. The bags are made of recycled rice bags from Vietnam. The purchase of these items support several different relief organizations in Vietnam and Cambodia. The beaded items include necklaces, rings and bracelets from Altiplano, a fair trade group from the highlands of Guatemala. The other beaded items are examples of exceptionally fine bead work from the lush island of Bali

Our Mission

Malia Designs was formed to increase economic opportunity for women in developing countries, and to support local and international non-profit organizations that fight human trafficking in Southeast Asia.

Our products are made by non-profit organizations that employ disadvantaged people in developing countries as well as small family producers. By bringing their crafts to Western markets, we can expand their access to sustainable income.

Malia also aims to help victims of human trafficking by donating a portion of our profits to local and international non-profit organizations working in this arena. Human trafficking is a $10 billion illegal trade affecting almost one million people a year. We believe that one way to counteract this global issue is to increase access to economic opportunity in the most affected areas.

Through your purchase of Malia Designs, you too can carry the cause.

and view a list of organizations that we donate to.

Sustainable Luxury



Welcome to the Treehouse Blog
!

"Stylish, green and affordable"
That is what they say in the recent edition of our local paper, the Coast Press.


Here is the link to the article.

The picture you see is one of our new line of organic cotton t-shirts printed using soy based ink. This kind of shirt has a very low environmental foot print. They are hand made by artists here in the USA and we have many creative designs.


Please sign up for the blog. We will be highlighting just a few items every week, and some links to resources we hope you will enjoy.
