A community of specialty artisans dedicated to fair wages and beautiful products
Haiti’s Markets, Globally Explored.
The streets of Haiti are full of color, sounds, and tastes. Down a narrow street, many markets set up shop, selling items like sugar and vegetables. It is from this very experience that Konbit Collective is born. Having experienced the markets in Haiti, as well as in other beautiful places, we banded together to help give jobs and a place to belong to local vendors.
We want you to experience a global marketplace, full of beautiful items carefully selected just for you.
In this marketplace, we want you to rest assured, each item is made by artisans and artisan groups dedicated to paying their workers living wages in their country. As Haiti is where this all began, you can expect to see many items from Haiti.
As we’ve grown, we have also added locally sourced (USA/Canada) items, as well as international locations.

The Well Fund
In memory of Dani Troyer
Dani Troyer was a mother and a wife who did life in Haiti for the last decade of her life. Nearly her entire adulthood was spent on the island of Hispaniola, working in the Caribbean sun. She was not only a mother and wife, but she was also a fierce advocate for women and children in Haiti. In 2017, she co-founded Mama Zwazo, now called Petite Palm. She worked tirelessly to make sure Haitian mothers could provide for their children, and more importantly, knew their worth.
Dani was friends with many of us who worked and lived in Haiti. She was one of the first people we met on the island in 2010, and we were in awe of how easily she allowed each emotion to be felt in such a place that felt hard to feel. Throughout the years, their friendships remained and she continued to be an inspiration to them and others.
In April of 2019, Dani suddenly passed away.
Her passing was difficult for all of her Konbit Haiti friends and on those who knew her life and light.
The Well Fund is dedicated to serving the most underserved in our community, especially mothers in crisis.
When you purchase any Petite Palm products, the proceeds go toward
The Well Fund.
We love Dani's goal of 2019:
"No fancy proclamations or wild goals, just a deep ache to be well and do well."
She did well, she did so well.
We are proud to call her our friend and proud to remember her in this way.
