Why Cedar and Cypress

In the old testament we read in 1 Kings that when the temple was constructed Solomon used Cedar and Cypress wood. That is where our name comes from. We want to be the foundation and the support for others like Cedar and Cypress was for the temple.  Weather that is companies or artisans in Haiti, individual people, missionaries or families. Our goal is to support others though job creation.

Being a support is the core of who we are.

Cedar and Cypress Designs partners with independent artisans in Haiti. Through your purchase and support, we are in turn able to purchase and support our artisan partners in Haiti. This is a sustainable process of employment-a social enterprise business model.

We are proud of our partners and the artisans in Haiti. We have spent a great deal of time selecting the pieces in our collection and offer a diverse selection of handcrafted goods including pieces for your home to jewelry to handbags.

Be a part of our foundation. We invite you to purchase with purpose; job creation through artisan empowerment.
