Loyal Dog Wood Animal Sculpture

Novica was born in May 1999 with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all. We see a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand - a future where time is protected, where stories are told, and where unique details are honored. Love, respect, and inclusiveness have become our core drivers.

Novica's mission is to Spread Happiness. We aim to empower artisans and preserve cultures worldwide, facilitating long-term economic sustainability. Historically, most of the world's artisans have profited less than fairly, so Novica works directly with them, eliminating multiple layers of middlemen and enabling artisans to earn more while customers pay less.

Everything Novica sells is fair trade and handmade by featured, named artisans. As a Certified B Corporation, Novica meets the highest standards of social and environmental accountability, bringing you treasures from artisans around the globe. We are constantly working to reduce our plastic use, minimize our carbon impact, and tread lightly on the Earth, striving to be proper stewards of our planet.

Novica's Happy Artisans aim to improve lives and uplift communities, while Happy Customers can impact the world by purchasing handmade products. One such product is the Novica Handmade Suar Wood Dog Sculpture, a doe-eyed canine crafted by Balinese artisan Made Wirata.

Made Wirata joined Novica in 2001, and his success has allowed him to build a home for his family, send his children to school, and purchase a motorbike. Before Novica, Made struggled to market his sculptures, facing uncertain sales and unstable financial conditions. But with Novica, his products reach customers, and his sales have increased yearly. Joining Novica was his best decision.

Novica's mission is to connect passionate, appreciative customers with talented artisans around the world, empowering them and preserving cultural traditions. We have sent over $124 million to artisans globally, and our momentum continues to build as we add new artists and designs.

When you purchase from Novica, you're not just buying a product - you're creating jobs, having a profound impact on an artisan's livelihood, and helping them move up in the world. You're also preserving traditional techniques and supporting Novica's efforts to be a force for good, spreading happiness through ethical, sustainable business practices.
