Global Affairs is an international, creative Dutch Design wholesale kids and baby accessories company based in Amsterdam. Global Affairs develops, creates and produces its own collection with sustainability in mind and also develops ranges of wholesale customised products for private label customers (i.e. museums, educational partners, and zoo's). The designs are original, colourful, high quality and eco minded.
The collection
The Global Affairs collection is an inspiring line up of soft toys, kids decorations and baby and kids accessories.
Global Affairs supply retailers all over the world. In the UK we work with resellers such as the Tate Galleries, the Royal Academy, National Trust and the National Gallery. Moreover, internationally we can be found at the Musee d'Orsay, The Louvre, Vincent van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, the Picasso Museum and many more.
As a cultural venue, retailer or shop you might want to have your own label. The collection is highly adaptable and we're able to closely collaborate with you. For instance by adapting designs or adding branded packaging for clients. Products designed to your specifications to fit your brand, exhibition or business.
For the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam Global Affairs has designed and made bespoke crocheted dolls and key hangers. This range has now expanded with other artists, such as Frida Kahlo. Gorgeous in a children's room
Global Affairs uses natural resources wherever possible and has committed itself to a plastic reducing world. Natural fibres and materials, such as (organic) cotton, wool, wool felt, wood, metals and bamboo and also recycled materials are used where possible in all its kids accessories. And on top of that they mostly use materials that come from certified sources. The packaging uses minimal plastics and recycled plastics where suitable.
Global Affairs suppliers are based in China and Peru and the crocheted and knitted items mostly handmade. They closely work with small scale producers and cooperate on fair trade principles. They commit themselves to creating long term and close relationships with their suppliers. Moreover, Global Affairs selects mainly rural companies that are led by women and encourage to employ women to work from home or from nearby areas. Many of the production partners have passed the BSCI audits, and others are in the progress of obtaining this certificate. Read more about the Global Affairs Fair Trade policy here.
