   GECKOS Cultural Collections -HANDICRAFTS FROM SOUTH EAST ASIA

           Hand Selecting From The People And Places We Visit

                      Hi, i'm erica welcome to our web site.

Geckos cultural collections [ geckoscc ] began unexpectedly, a visit to vietnam by myself and my husband [ a vietnam veteran ] changed our lives.

We discovered an enchanting mix of ethnic tribal people [ 54 different groups ] mixed with a geographical setting from the mekong delta in the south to the breath taking mountain regions in the north.

The birth of geckoscc was instigated by an appreciation of traditional crafts, especially by the tribal people and a burning desire to help them on their journey out of poverty. By buying directly from the villages and communal charities we know the money we spend goes directly to the source of labor. We hope we are also creating opportunities for artisans in developing countries to have a income by bringing their products to our country.

Over a period of time we have cultured many wonderful and endearing friendships with our suppliers and artisan network

On our journeys we have visited many orphanages and as a result now sponsor two beautiful children, enriching our lives further.One recently finished high school and is now at college. 

We eventually ventured further than vietnam and have included the mountainous regions of northern thailand, myanmar, lao, cambodia, borneo and malaysia. Each journey brings new and exciting products to showcase.

We hope you enjoy our products as much as we enjoyed buying them for you.
