Wonderful selection of fair trade goods in a colorful, inviting shop. The owner said he works with fair trade workshops in Nepal to produce their house brand, Koraa. Really gorgeous fabrics and cuts. I bought a beautiful top and scarf. And they carry Mata Traders too! The owner is a very sweet guy. Ill definitely continue supporting this awesome local business.
Koraa carries beautiful fair trade products, and the customer service is wonderful. I get most of my jewelry and scarves from here. The products are high quality and the added benefit of supporting fair trade makes shopping at Koraa a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
I have been a fan of this merchant for quite a few years and have been witness to their many iterations as they have reinvented themselves over and over again, each time to be even better than the last. They are an amazing duo of entrepreneurs with a bountiful amount of passion for what they do. Koraa’s product selection is always good for your soul. Their merchandise is both locally and globally sourced with ethics and fair trade practices in mind. They support global communities where it matters the most, the individual artisan, which is the grass root infrastructure of any community. They advocate for woman artists across the globe and bring their goods into the shoppe for us, the lucky consumer to swoon over. Their shoppe is a visual delight as well and can be a “go to” place for that special gift or even a treat for yourself!
Owner was so helpful! Beautiful and unique items! Definitely coming back!
A lovely little boutique in Elmwood... Perfect for unique gifts!
My go to when I need a thoughtful gift - beautiful textiles & home goods. The staff is always friendly /helpful without being pushy.
Best place in Berkeley to find handmade fair trade things. And Jampa is the friendliest shopkeeper on College Ave on top of all that.
I found the employee rude and haughty at Koraa. The quality of the items seems average at best, more of trinkets and things. Not enough respect to customers. 2/5
Great selection of hand-made items in a cozy, stylish shop. The owners are warm and friendly and take great pride in the their selection of products. Ive found many wonderful gifts here.
Stumbled across this lovely fair trade shop with so many lovely artisan made items. I also loved the decor and creative ways the owners found to hang & display their items. They also shared how I could make a hanger for myself.Theyre renaming & rebranding as KoraaI was able to find street parking just a few blocks up which considering how difficult parking can be in most of Berkeley this is great newsI purchased a lovely bag from a repurposed Sari that my tablet fits into perfectly.Please go check out this shop for yourself!
Great place to shop. The staff is very friendly and always so helpful. I get all my Tibetan stuff from here.
Beautiful selection and you can feel good about your purchase because it makes a difference.
