What we offer

Kochyan Valley brings you the best in ancient and new beads, ancient Roman glass, tribal goods, belly dancing accessories, textiles, and more. Based in California’s Bay Area, we import exquisite, hand-made, and one-of-a-kind products from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and countries throughout the Middle East and Europe. We deliver exceptional customer service, a timely delivery of your merchandise and the best value at incomparable prices.

 

Dedicated to fair trade business practices

As a family owned and operated business, and as natives of war-torn Afghanistan, we understand the financial and moral pressure low-paid workers feel. The purpose of our business is to shed light on the lack of fair trade and promote fair wages in Afghanistan and Pakistan. As direct importers, we value our relationships with our partners and suppliers. Having partners in both countries makes it easy for us to visit each manufacturer to ensure that the products we purchase are produced under fair working conditions and laws. We also purchase directly from Afghan refugees that fled from the wrath of the Taliban and other warlords and make a living designing and selling jewelry. Our business- and yours- makes a difference in their lives.
