I. A LEGACY OF

PRESERVATION

From inception, my vision has always been to promote handcrafted fashion and lifestyle products from pre-Columbian cultures and highly skilled artisans in a refined and sophisticated context. The combination of beautiful design, exceptional craftsmanship, a growing demand for socially conscious products, and outstanding customer service propelled extraordinary growth for my business over the past 18 years and earned my company a key position as first mover in the exponentially growing market for eco-friendly products.

II. THE FOUNDER'S

VISION

Our founder, Alicia Kossick, inherited a vision of elegance and purpose from her grandmother – a woman who seamlessly blended her Mexican roots with the world's finest designs. This personal legacy of blending diverse cultures, exquisite aesthetics, and a warm heart became the very essence of Polished Coconut.

VALUES

From the very beginning, Polished Coconut has been a business with a social mission. We collaborate with select groups of artisans, empowering the women behind each craft through optimal pricing, fair trade practices, and vital microcredit financing. We've seen firsthand that this commitment to their economic well-being is the key to fostering long-term socio-economic development within their communities, paving the way for thriving futures.

III. PRESERVATION IS

SUSTAINABLITY

Polished Coconut stands as a pioneer of sustainability and a beacon for socially conscious goods. Our selections are more than just beautiful; they are rooted in tradition, social consciousness, the active preservation of cultural heritage, and the enduring empowerment of women. Our relationships with women artisans have deepened over the years. We are passionate about them keeping their 500 year old heritage and craft alive - we've connected them to global buyers so they can preserve and continue this heritage.

With every stitch, pull, loop, and braid, we are contributing to the profound legacy of ancestral art forms, ensuring their beauty and purpose endure for generations to come.

III. THE POLISHED

ETHOS

"Always Polished. Stylishly Responsible" means a blend of exquisite design and profound ethical responsibility.
