Return to Sender

Return to Sender – Beautiful design with a mission

Sometimes you buy something that’s not only beautiful but truly makes a difference. That’s exactly what you get with a product from Return to Sender. This inspiring brand was founded in 2006 by Katja Schuurman, Tessa Vos, and Maarten van Huijstee, with a clear mission: to create sustainable development through fair trade. Since then, Return to Sender has been helping women in developing countries build a better future—for themselves and their families.

The income from each product goes directly back to the maker, creating fair opportunities and real impact. And it gets even better: your purchase also supports Plan International Netherlands as well as the charities chosen by Up To Do Good. That’s what we call double the good!

Where global craftsmanship meets Dutch design

What makes Return to Sender truly unique is its collaboration with seven top Dutch designers who work hand in hand with skilled artisans from developing countries. Every year, they create a new design collection that brings together the best of both worlds: traditional techniques and local materials meet modern, Dutch creativity.

The result? Handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces full of character and meaning. Think beautiful vases, bold jewelry, home textiles, candles, cushions, and more. Each item tells a story—and you can feel the care in every detail. 

Working together for girls’ futures

Return to Sender works closely with Plan International Netherlands to create a brighter future for girls in developing countries. Plan supports access to education and vocational training for young women, giving them the tools they need to shape their own futures. And it really makes a difference: just one extra year of primary school can increase a girl’s future income by 10–20%, and a year of secondary school by up to 25%.

Together with Plan, Return to Sender encourages entrepreneurship and offers young women a real chance at financial independence and success.
