Sustainability Guarantees
Learn more about the sustainability guarantees for craftsmanship which determines the selection of artisans in TA-DAAN. We often talk about the TA-DAAN Factor as a characteristic that encompasses everything we look for in an artisan product. The pillars that make up this concept are sustainability, uniqueness and transparency. Check out our Sustainability index & the stamps in the product pages.

We wanted to make it simple and quick for you to recognize why and how the products in this shop are sustainable. We first listed attributes and requirements important to us and to mother earth, grouped them into larger clusters, renamed and accurately described. With this index of guarantees, we asked every artisan selling with us to highlight what requirement each of their product meets. Therefore the icons you see on the product pages!
