How does it work?
Artisans like hand-make traditional textiles that go into your Ethnotek bag. With tip me, you can give something back. 100% of your tip goes to support artisans like Agripina. Yes, really, 100%! Ethnotek will cover all transaction fees.
After receiving your tip, the money is transferred directly to a local tip me project manager who the artisans have elected to ensure a fair distribution amongst their community.
Please note that your tip is declared as a gift and therefore will not be refunded in case of a return.
What is the role of tip me?
tip me registers all artisans into their database and facilitates the global tipping system to ensure that 100% of your contribution goes to the team on the ground.
So far, tip me has collected more than $80,000 in tips for 1,000 workers in countries like Vietnam, Pakistan, Kenya, Ukraine and Turkey.
Ethnotek is the first backpack company on the planet to enable tipping. Thank you for being a part of it!
Add a tip to support artisans like Agripina.
Nice to meet you, I’m Agripina! My community and I make textiles with Ethnotek using a process called ‘jaspe’. The raw warp yarn is tied and dyed in sections, then spooled onto bobbins, which feed the treadle loom to complete the textiles. Weaving is created at my workshop and with my friend Manuel-Francisco in our village, Paxtoca. Your tips will be split amongst our community every month in proportion to the amount of weaving each person has completed. Muchas gracias!
Add a tip to support artisans like Charles Acquah.
Hi, I’m Charles Acquah, I’m from the Somanya village in Ghana and have a workshop in Accra where I make all of Ethnotek’s batik fabrics with my son Nathaniel. Our motif designs are inspired by traditional Adinkra symbols. We hope you love our textile art. Your tips will go directly to me and my family, thank you for supporting our craft!
Add a tip to support artisans like Lidia, Blanca and Alida.
Hola, we are Lidia, Blanca and Alida! We are creators of the very rare Mayan Star Motif and will soon be leaving the weaving trade, but are happy to say that our new weaving partners Alirio, Rosa, Felipe and Etelvina in San Marcos are carrying on our tradition. Your tips will be split amongst our communities every month in proportion to the amount of weaving each person has completed. We thank you very much for the support!
Add a tip to support artisans like Che.
Hi, I’m Che and I’m part of a group of 96 artisans in the northern highlands of Vietnam who make hand-embroidered textiles in collaboration with Ethnotek. Hmong women make only 2 tribal skirts per year and it’s our favorite hobby that we do during breaks from our agricultural work. This craft is our heritage that we’re proud to protect and is fun to make because we often socialize, laugh, and joke with each other while creating it. Your tips will be split amongst our female-led co-op every month in proportion to the amount of tribal skirts each woman delivers. Thank you for helping our craft and sharing our story.
