Fair trade: Lost in Samsara is part of BAFTS - Fair Trade Network UK, and ensures fair trade practises for all the partners they work with.

Environmentally friendly: Lost in Samsara makes their beautiful items from upcycled materials that were saved from landfill. They use materials such as inner tubes, motorcycle seats, and cement bags. The items are all handcrafted in small amounts, ensuring environmentally friendly production.

The packaging that Lost in Samsara uses is plastic-free and made from biodegradable materials. You also get the option to make your order carbon neutral upon purchase.

Vegan: Since Lost in Samsara uses upcycled materials, they cannot guarantee that the products are vegan. They don't use any animal products on purpose.

Good cause: The organizations that Lost in Samsara works with are committed to making a positive impact. Craftswork and Smart Crafts give training to disabled people, mainly victims of land mines and polio. Just trade provides literacy programs, artisan development programs, community health programs, youth scholarships, and community tourism.
