Why We’re Proud to Carry Mélange: Handmade Gifts that Empower Women and Inspire Change

Mélange: Handcrafted with Purpose


At Nature’s Materials, we’re always seeking to partner with organizations that align with our values—sustainability, education, craftsmanship, and empowerment. When we discovered Mélange, we knew we’d found something truly special.


Mélange creates handmade, artisan-quality products while supporting women-led income-generating projects. Every item carries not only artistic value but also a meaningful mission: to uplift women around the world through economic opportunity and dignified work.
