MR PORTER has launched Small World, a curated selection of global independent and diverse brands that celebrate craftsmanship, responsibly made products and local communities in a thoughtful and intentional way. Small World showcases 33 considered brands that are truly special by virtue of qualities such as their provenance, skilled heritage craftsmanship, their support of regional artisans or the use of recycled and low-impact materials.

Of the 33 brands, 16 are new to MR PORTER. Of the 338 considered products that will launch within Small World across ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories, luxury watches, grooming and homeware, 184 are fully exclusive to the site. Collectively, Small World brings together communities from as far afield as Bali, Mexico, Tibet, Nigeria and Mali and those supporting local artisanal crafts in the US, UK, France, India, Portugal and Japan.

Each Small World brand will also sit within MR PORTER’s newly launched Craftsmanship Code, an evergreen section of the site designed to champion products made by brands that make a positive contribution to their communities and operate with environmental and social considerations at the forefront of their design and business decisions.
