Our Story
From the Hindu Kush to the Rocky Mountains.
Stanikzai Global is a family trading company headquartered in Kalispell, Montana. We connect artisan workshops across four continents with American homes — the old way, person to person, with a handshake and a fair price.
How we got here
One suitcase
A trip home to see family ends with a suitcase full of hand-hammered copper — and a hundred questions from friends in Montana about where to buy it.
First container
Stanikzai Global LLC is founded in Kalispell. Our first shipping container arrives with goods from eleven workshops across Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
Four continents
The sourcing map grows to twelve countries. We publish our fair-partnership standards and begin naming every workshop on every product page.
Today
More than 140 artisan families, one Montana warehouse, and a promise that hasn't changed: beautiful goods, honestly sourced.
The Stanikzai Promise
Every piece has a name, a place, and a maker.
Direct partnerships
No middlemen, no anonymous factories. We know every workshop by name and visit them in person.
Fair prices, set by makers
Artisans quote their own prices. We pay 50% up front, before a single piece ships.
Materials that last
Highland wool, solid walnut, hammered copper — natural materials chosen to age beautifully.
Montana roots
Every order ships from our warehouse at 1001 S Main St in Kalispell, packed by hand.
