DARLIN started with a simple idea – to bring heart back into wholesale.

Back in February 2009, we saw a gap in the market. Everything felt mass-produced and soulless. We craved something more meaningful — homewares, woodware and giftware made by hand, not machines. Products that were ethical, sustainable, and carried the story of the people who made them.

That gap became our calling.

We left our corporate jobs, took a deep breath (and an even bigger leap), and built DARLIN — a family-run business that supports other family-run manufacturing businesses from around the world. We’ve spent 16+ years curating artisan pieces that are made with care and sold with love.

And yes — we always get asked about the name. “DARLIN” is just what we call each other. It’s mushy. It’s real. It’s us.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
