Our Story...

Hla Day brings together 4 years of experience in running a successful social enterprise. We aim to support small independent Myanmar craft businesses to be successful and sustainable. Hla Day does this by providing services through design and business training while offering supported access to a fair and supportive marketplace with opportunities within and beyond the local market.

The Hla Day team fosters the ideas, the innovation, the passion, and the support of our local and international community to deliver the services to our diverse community of artisans while bringing quality handmade Myanmar products to the world. 

Driven by the passion to improve the lives of more Myanmar artisans and craftspeople, Hla Day has future plans to expand the organisation to different regions of Myanmar, representing unique regional tastes, and offering crafts that utilize local materials and styles while improving design and business skills. 

None of this story would have been possible without the incredible support and collaboration of our growing community of artisans,  our volunteers, the incredible extended community of Yangon and of course our loyal customers.

Measured Success

We are committed to ensuring our artisan’s needs, interests and ideas remain at the core of what we do. Therefore we measure our input ( design training, business training, product development per business ) compared to the output ( ammount of sales, ammount of new products ) teamed with quantitative data by regularly checking in with our artisans.
