What Our Fans Are Saying

We Love to See Our Customers Find that Perfect Memorable Gift!

The giraffe slippers are my favorite gift I'm giving to anyone this season! The giraffe slippers are a gift for my grandson, so he hasn't seen them yet. But how great to give something that I think he'll enjoy a lot over time -- and hopefully think of me with joy when he wears them. I do my best to give gifts that also reflect my values, so sharing Hoon Arts gifts, which also help others to be self-sufficient, is very important to me. That these HoonArts women make such fun and beautiful items --- fabulous!! And they look very sturdy, too -- love the solid soles!

--Gwenyth Lewis, Albuquerque

When I shop for fashion and accessories, I look for comfort and it has to be practical besides looking good.

On the psychological side, when I visualize my future self, my higher self, she’s always dressed in nice-feeling garments that just enhance her figure. She’s elegant, sophisticated and she's generous towards herself and others. I’ve bought several HoonArts scarves and have felt that by paying more than I normally would for a scarf, I get a high quality handmade product. On top of that I also know that my dollars are not only making me look and feel good but also supporting artisans on the other side of the planet. That idea just makes me feel amazing!

The beauty of this amazing online Tajikistan experience is not just being allowed a deep dive into the art of traditional textiles crafting for modern use but also being granted an intimate look into the lives of the makers.

While Rikki represents the connection between us, Western viewers, and that secret world along the ancient Silk Road very few of us are familiar with, friendly and eloquent Munira unveils its hidden treasures. She generously shares her deep knowledge about her country’s traditions, modern-day living, and the skillful art of textile production and embroidering. An experience I 100% recommended for anyone looking for an out-of-the-ordinary online voyage into a rich and colorful place.
