Embracing and bridging models of sustainable commerce translates to using organic, natural, low impact materials and production methods that reduce or eliminate waste. Through our supply chain we are tracking and employing lineage methods of crafting, including designing and material use development. We support communities in culturally rich, yet marginalized areas of Eastern Europe through job creation and the use of heritage-based practices. We transform cultural knowledge and traditions into lineage products that support our mission.
The elegance of Lineage Botanica is conveyed in the narratives of each creation. We envision a contemplative lifestyle brand where every element of home-life is a touchable, usable treasure.

About Betsy Fields
Nomadic traveler and adventurer. Corporate executive and creative director. Natural healer and artisan. Designer and mother. Entrepreneur. Betsy Fields, founder of Lineage Botanica (LB) is on a mission. In her own words: “I have a passionate interest in becoming an advocate and facilitator for rural artisan women (and men) that need to have a greater sense of place, economic integrity, and a voice in diminishing marginalized communities. Lineage Botanica embodies a lifetime of broad experiences, knowledge and a desire to share with the world what lies hidden behind the veils of poverty and old world traditions. There is so much physical beauty, history, and cultural legacy sitting quietly, unseen and unheard. Some of these are of my own heritage and some will be yours. We are all interconnected.”

Subtle, beautiful woven runner is just beautiful!
The apron is fabulous. I even love the hand embroidered patch on the bottom. It's just what I had envisioned. Knowing the journey that it took to become a useful re-purposed tool makes it even more cherishable.
Love this bag. Planning on purchasing several more as gifts !
