Why Faraway?
We started Faraway Goods because the best gifts aren't things -- they're invitations. An invitation to go somewhere, to be comfortable when you get there, and to carry a little piece of craft from the other side of the world.
Our batik cloths are made in small batches on the island of Bali, where the tradition of wax-resist dyeing has been practiced for generations. We partner directly with artisan workshops, paying fair prices and keeping batch sizes small.
The pockets came from a simple idea: what if the most beautiful thing you packed was also the most useful?
