Partnerships with Purpose
Hello! We are Bow and William, the team behind Boho Circle.
Our story started on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, where we spent 15 wonderful years running a traditional handicraft shop. During that time, we fell in love with the meticulous skill of handmade craft and built deep, lasting roots with local makers. Now based in Macclesfield, UK, we are working to recreate that same beautiful community spirit online—connecting authentic artisan talent with a global audience.
At Boho Circle, we design original pieces inspired by a love for craft and adventure. But the real life of our keyrings, bags, wallets, and silver jewellery comes from the hands that make them. We don't just use standard suppliers; we work in direct partnership with a community cooperative in Thailand.
Our Partnership with the Cooperative
This collaboration is a model built on sustainable, creative livelihoods rather than unpredictable seasonal farm work. By working directly with the wonderful women and men in the cooperative, we ensure they can:
Work on their own terms: Crafting our designs from the comfort of their homes or a shared community space, allowing them to balance work with family life.
Earn a fair, independent wage: Receiving direct economic benefits that reliably supplement family income all year round.
Preserve a timeless craft: Using traditional artisanal techniques that honour their heritage while bringing our modern designs to life.
When you choose a Boho Circle piece, you aren't just buying leather or silver. You are supporting real independence, fair pay, and shared opportunity for the incredible people who make our brand possible.
Thank you so much for stopping by, learning about our journey, and supporting independent, ethical craft.
— Bow & William
