Our Core Philosophy
Our Core Philosophy
Promoting & Embracing Cultural Diversity
Promoting & Embracing Cultural Diversity
At the heart of our design and manufacturing ethos lies our belief in collaborating with and promoting local artisans through “mono-zukuri”, which begins from the discovery of natural, raw materials in developing countries.
Uncovering Hidden Potential
We are committed to building ethical, sustainable business practices. In our manufacturing process, we make efforts to identify and use materials and production methods that suit each country. In Bangladesh, we use leather and jute for our bags, while in Nepal, high quality cashmere and silk are utilised for our stoles.
Collaborating With Local Artisans
We recognise and celebrate the often over-looked, but nevertheless unparalleled artistry of our artisans from developing countries. We work in tandem with them in the crafting process and provide them with a platform to let their voices be heard. Having ownership and a say in their craft is something we value at Motherhouse because we believe in our artisans and their dreams.
Diminishing Global Borders
Our products are unique, heartwarming and designed to be your lifelong partners. We aim to illuminate the beauty of diversity, in terms of both the raw materials that we use as well as the outstanding local talent that we are showcasing, to the global marketplace. Motherhouse is shifting the spotlight to developing countries, and bringing awareness to their untapped potential.
All our products are handcrafted in our own factories in Bangladesh and workshops in Nepal, Indonesia and
Sri Lanka.

We believe in the philosophy that our workers should feel as if our factories are their “second home”.
We believe that creating a good working environment is the first step in achieving this goal .
In addition to high pay levels, promotions in positions based on skill improvement, well-developed pension and medical insurance, and a
picnic held once a year, we have created a top-class working environment in the production area, and all workers are encouraged to
work together. We aim to create a factory that feels like a second home.
We have a directly managed factory in Bangladesh, and in other regions as well, we
are engaged in manufacturing together with affiliated factories and partners who value the working environment.

Monjurani
She joined Motherhouse back when our factory only had 5 workers. Being able to sew even the thickest of leather using a special machine, her sewing skills are the best in our factory.
Mithu
He is 1 of 2 supervisors in our factory. Albeit shy and not particularly good at talking in front of large groups of people, he is a superior craftsman.
