All of Verlu's products are handcrafted and assembled in Bali, Indonesia, where the New Zealand-native designer has resided for the last twenty years. The vast majority of organic materials used are native to the South Pacific and no endangered species are used.

Every facet of our production adheres to fair trade principles in the belief that it contributes to a better world overall. It's also our business practice and priority to hire locals that are most in need. Employees are provided a safe, clean working environment, medical benefits, retirement programs, training, skill upgrading and sometimes even housing; all within an energy-efficient, community supportive, garden and tree inhabited, all around socially sound business. Almost all production is done in-house to ensure that these standards are upheld, but if another vendor's premises are used, they are thoroughly checked beforehand.

These are just some of the reasons why Verlu is considered one of the most desireable and respected employers in the region. Our clients understand that adhering to these principles is well worth a little extra when it comes to Mother Earth and her inhabitants. We're proud to say that we are providing them with products they trust have been produced in a socially responsible manner.
