Women’s Economic Empowerment
Sustainable
Ethical
The Wee Souk or the Women's Economic Empowerment Souk is a carefully curated collection of artisanal homeware and accessories. Prioritising space for women artisans and most importantly, endeavoring to work directly with them so they are paid the full and fair amount for their craft and not wholesalers. Most of our artisans are women in Tunisia though we've recently taken on several Scottish women makers too. We exist to disrupt the current system by championing women, their work and their worth.
