But what's at the heart of the company is how it focused on a human-centered approach to manufacturing. With your purchase, you're able to find out more about who made the item. Kancha fosters Kyrgyz craftmanship through its fairly traded products. "Every product comes with an individual handmade label, which allows the client to find out more about the person and the process behind the product on our website," they write.
