Creature Comforts, operating since 1980, exists to honor and help kindle respect for cultural diversity...a great challenge of these times. There is an intellectual and spiritual web of life created by the cultures of the world. Modern times encroach on ancient skills, wisdom and languages. To lose the richness that this web offers is a reality that we face. It is our hope that by offering these handcrafted goods by indigenous craftspeople to a world market, we allow these peoples to preserve their culture, artistry, stories, and identity. Creature Comforts' eclectic collection of goods is predominantly from Thailand, Nepal, Tibet, India and Indonesia . In addition, there is a selection of world class water tight baskets by the Wounaan Indians of the rainforests of the Darien Prov

Our products are individually hand knit, embroidered, painted, carved, and woven by artisans from the Andes. Some products take the artisan a day to make, while others take much longer. Either way, there is much love that is put into every piece. We guarantee you will enjoy the artistry that is part of each creation.
