Shop Global With Eclectic Array
Many have asked, what is Eclectic Array? Well, since you asked... let me tell you. There was clearly a missing niche in the market place. Living in Cabo, there were few opportunities to find great places to buy unique gifts for friends and family, as well as take friends and family to purchase great souvenirs while they are visiting. We were sick of the same old stuff on the beach or in the markets, many of which are not even made in Mexico. I was shocked to see products that were represented as if they were made in Mexico, that were really made in China. We have incredibly talented artisans across Mexico that make beautiful items and to see that mass production from China had taken over the trinkets in the streets. This in turn was again hurting the autonomy of our artisan community in Mexico, leaving many with even less work than they had before.
Faryn Clark, Founder of Eclectic Array, lived between Tulsa, Oklahoma and Dallas, TX most of her life and has resided in Cabo San Lucas, MX for the last two and a half years with her husband, three boys, 3 dogs, 1 cat, turtle, hedgehog, scorpion, and 15 hermit crabs... Cabo is a magical place for her family and they feel truly blessed to be part of the community. After attending Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX she went to work in the corporate world in Medical Device Sales prior to embarking on entrepreneurship. She previously owned a Skincare Spa in the US for 6 years prior to moving to Mexico. As a bit of a serial entrepreneur, she now fights off urges to start new businesses daily. Between managing a few other start up operations, and a rebranding and relaunch of a company she stays passionate about her work in Eclectic Array knowing the difference they are able to make for people around the world from simply encouraging people to support incredible global artisans.
The concept was Inspired by Kiva, a non-profit organization that specializes in micro-financing loans globally to individuals in poverty that are seeking entrepreneurship opportunities. We wanted to make a difference as well...in a similar way, and Eclectic Array gave individuals the opportunity to support people that were great artisans, while making a difference in others lives or for their family to rise above their current economic situation. We believe in fair trade, unique, beautifully crafted items that are affordable and make people happy. Together we can change the world. Lets SHOP GLOBAL.
