At Proud Mary, we believe that true wealth is built when your income no longer depends solely on your time. 

We’ve spent the larger part of our careers designing, co-creating and marketing products from artisans. And throughout the journey, we had the same goal - to create products that also create a positive social impact.

Originating in the 19th century, Basotho blankets were inspired by a gift of a woolen shawl from a British official to King Moshoeshoe I, the first King of Lesotho and the founder of the tiny landlocked nation. And in that pivotal cross cultural exchange, what began as an adaptation of European textile became a hallmark of Basotho identity. 

At Proud Mary, we’re fascinated with the business of inspiration. Each week, we share the visuals that inspired us, made us see the world differently, and reminded us that craft is art.
