About Haiti Design Co.

As of February 2024, Haiti Design Co has joined forces with 2nd Story Goods. You can now shop both brands at https://faire.com/direct/2ndstorygoods. This page is now inactive. Haiti Design Co was founded in 2013 with the goal to bring about sustainable development through design, training, and job creation. Our mantra around the workshop is "Men anpil, chay pa lou". This is an old Haitian proverb meaning "Many hands make the load light". We believe that there is a commonality between the designer, maker, and consumer, and that when working together we can help lighten each other's load and bring about lasting positive impact. Little by little our small workshop has grown and evolved into a training and production center employing over 150 people within our workshop and HDC partner branches. Over the years, HDC has collaborated with many talented designers that have come to Haiti and led workshops to train teams in new and better production techniques. These collaborations have been the foundations for many of the teams we are able to employ today. Read their story
