A letter to our community,
We have heard it said that it takes about 10 years to become an overnight success…
Today we are filled with immense gratitude and joy as we celebrate Parker Clay's 10th anniversary. The day when we embarked on this journey is a vivid memory, born by way of a shared vision and fueled by our passion for bringing a powerful community together to create meaningful impact. As we reflect on the past decade, we are humbled by how far we have come and inspired by the journey that lies ahead.
Ten years ago, Parker Clay was an idea sketched out by candlelight (because the power was out) in Ethiopia. The vision was clear, to create a brand that not only delivers exceptional products but also empowers communities and transforms lives. Today, we stand proud of what Parker Clay represents—an embodiment of timeless high-quality craftsmanship, sustainability, and social responsibility.
Our journey has been marked by countless challenges and triumphs, each of which has shaped Parker Clay into the brand it is today. From the early days of sourcing the finest materials(that we discovered was getting exported to Italy) to the moments of innovation and growth, every step of this journey has been a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence.
However, what truly sets Parker Clay apart is not just the quality of our products but the impact we have been able to create in the lives of others. Through our commitment to ethical manufacturing practices and our partnership with Ethiopian artisans, we have been able to provide sustainable employment opportunities and support local communities.
As we commemorate this significant milestone, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey—the talented artisans who bring our designs to life, our dedicated team members who work tirelessly behind the scenes, our loyal customers who continue to support us, and our partners who share our vision for a better world.
Looking ahead, we are filled with excitement for the future of Parker Clay. With your continued support and collaboration, we are confident that the next decade will be even more remarkable than the last. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of creativity, sustainability, and social impact, striving to make a positive difference in the world.
Once again, thank you for joining us on this journey. As we celebrate this milestone, let us also look forward to the many more milestones that lie ahead.
We Go Together!
Brittany & Ian
