How We Find it
"I don't buy from showrooms."
Twenty years of relationships with artisans across seven countries. Every piece handpicked. Every piece with a story.
Explore The World With Rare Finds Warehouse
I go to the villages where craftsmen work the way their fathers did, and their fathers before them. I’ve spent years building real relationships — not buyer-seller relationships, but friendships, family connections, wedding invitations. In India, I work with a supplier who has 32 offices across the country, with teams going door to door finding unique pieces. In Thailand, I source from third, fourth, fifth-generation carving families. In Indonesia, I buy from a woman who feeds 258 employees breakfast and lunch every day, seven days a week. What you’ll find at Rare Finds came from these relationships. Each piece traveled thousands of miles in a shipping container because I believed it belonged in someone’s home in Colorado. That’s not a supply chain. That’s a treasure hunt.
"Vietnam was the root. India was the growth."
The Reality of Global Sourcing
Global sourcing isn’t getting easier. Tariffs shift. Shipping costs fluctuate. That’s why we’re always looking for new sources, new relationships, new countries. Hungary and Egypt are our newest additions — places where we can find incredible pieces while navigating the realities of international trade. When customers ask how tariffs affect us, I ask them: did you buy anything this week? Because it affects all of us. We absorb what we can, source smarter where we can, and keep bringing you pieces you won’t find anywhere else.
