The GlobeIn Artisan Box is a monthly subscription featuring exclusive, handcrafted products from global artisans. Delight yourself and your loved ones with the experiences of a globe in a box – a monthly subscription of highly curated, artisan-made products from around the world. Each box is curated around a monthly theme to bring you exciting products that make you feel well traveled and connected with distant cultures around the world.
Dedicated to supporting artisans from around the world and in developing countries where, after agriculture, artisan goods are the second largest source of employment, the GlobeIn box helps to reduce poverty by giving these artisans and their communities, a global audience. To help you connect with gifted artisans, every month GlobeIn highlight one artisan or artisan collective and ask you to crowd-fund their special project.
If you want to feel good, and support artists that make objects that look good, GlobeIn is for you.

Instant Exotic Appeal with a Conscience
By Nikita C.GlobeIn Artisan Box is for the person curious about the world, seeking more connection, and truly wanting to help entrepreneurs in areas of the world that have not yet seen the progress that we take for granted daily.
My Daughter, Aunt, and I subscribe and scatter throughout our homes you can see beautiful pottery, baskets, and little luxuries. If you have a Daughter looking to decorate her first place this is an ideal gift. If you are someone who squirrels away gifts for the whenever the moment presents itself this box is for you. For my Aunt she loves to help women in developing countries and if you do as well this box is for you.
Items are of high quality. Beautifully decorated. Statement pieces for sure.

Nice Artisan Products but Poor Communication, Very Slow Shipping
By MarI signed up in July, and I’ve only received one monthly box, so I don’t have a lot of experience with Globein’s subscription service, yet. That said, I’ve made several purchases from their shop and during special events, and the results have been mixed. I paid $60 for their Delish box which came with two beautiful hand-blown sundae glasses, two copper straws (love them!) and two really cute bowls for toppings. Everything about this order was really fantastic, and I was thrilled with it. It wasn’t part of the subscription, so shipping was pretty quick.
I ordered two hand painted mugs that were supposed to be Le Souk, but they weren’t. The quality difference was obvious because of a four oz weight difference, and the painting wasn’t as precise and beautiful as genuine Le Souk ceramics. I was pretty disappointed and felt like I’d been mislead. Globein doesn’t accept returns or give refunds.
Now it’s been over six weeks since I ordered my next monthly box, and I still don’t have it. I might get it next week, but having to wait that long for an order is not acceptable to me.
Two of the items in another recent order were damaged, and customer service hasn’t responded to my email, which is the only way to communicate with them.
The website is almost impossible to navigate, especially when you’re new. There’s no place to find information or answers to questions so it’s always frustrating. I don’t get confirmations when I place an order, or shipping notifications.
They recently deleted all of the product reviews that customers had left on their site, even though the majority of them seemed to be positive. Why would a company think they needed to do that?
They delete customer comments on their FB page almost daily.
I love supporting Fair Trade, but there are a lot of other businesses who are more transparent and honest, and often have better prices, so after my prepaid globein subscription expires, I won’t be renewing.
Again, I love supporting Fair Trade and go out of my way to do so, but I’d rather do it through companies who are more transparent and ethical.
