Our Story

Luna Tree began in 2007,  founded by Clare McCormack in Chester, Cheshire.

Clare, previously working as a buyer for a Fair Trade and ethical gift company. It was during these trips that established her connections with the Karen Hill Tribe community in Lampang Province that Luna Tree continue to work with today.

Collaboration and Creativity

We take a collaborative approach working with our artisan partners. Their creativity is the central focus of the business, alongside the Fair Trade ethics of Luna Tree.

The Karen people maintain a close harmony with the natural world. Working as subsistence farmers they have a very spiritual connection with their land. The hand worked fine silver they produce has a distinctive organic look, weight and feel all its own. While every Luna Tree customer has a special connection directly back to the silversmith who created each item.

                        

The Cheshire Studio

Alongside the Karen silver collections, we have a growing complimentary range of recycled silver jewellery. This is created in our Cheshire studio by Clare.

Elephant Stampede…

During trips to visit our silversmith partners, to place orders and to work on new designs, volunteering at Elephant Nature Park became a regular highlight of time spent in Thailand.

ENP is a sanctuary in Northern Thailand for Asian elephants and many other rescued animals. This is a place where the elephants gain their freedom from servitude.  They can live out the rest of their lives naturally at ENP.  Looking for away to support the great work at ENP beyond time spent volunteering in 2010 a range of art prints by Lertsark Bangkeaw were added to the Luna Tree repertoire. 50% of the profits from their sales are donated to the Save Elephant Foundation. This charity funds ENP, and both are founded by Sangdeaun Lek Chailert.

ENP also work on Fair Trade principles and only serve vegan food to their volunteer guests. A place where people, animals and the land are all looked after. A true utopian place which is incredibly special.
