Dia is an e-commerce platform where you can discover and shop from artisanal Southeast Asian brands. An artisanal brand is one that focuses on craft and quality rather than mass production and scale; their production process is partly or entirely done by hand, and often involves heritage craft skills. Dia helps connect artisanal brands with a discerning, global consumer audience by providing a digital storefront, an integrated marketing approach, and a global logistics solution.Dia is a genderless Malay word meaning "she/he/them" and also refers to our greater hope to Directly Impact Artisans. As a prefix, Dia also refers to going "through, across, between," which speaks to our goal of bridging the gap between authentic Southeast Asian artisanship and a discerning global audience who will appreciate it.Our mission is to champion Southeast Asia's creativity and artisanship to develop the global recognition it deserves.
