Office Team Annette Klein Bog Founder
Global Affairs was founded in 1998 by Annette. She enjoyed travelling through India and China for a couple of years. The love for the countries and the bright & vibrant colours used by both Chinese and Indian craftsmen made her decide to start Global Affairs. As enterprising multi-tasker, she is always curious and interested in new initiatives, history, stories, food and more. Inspired by everything and happy by the small things in life, she is the engine behind Global Affairs. Nowadays, Global Affairs develops and produces colourful interior accessories and childrens’ toys. Designs are made in the Amsterdam based office and sent abroad for production.
Welcome to the colourful world of Global Affairs. Please enjoy our bright and cheerful Fall catalogue 2014. Our collection is full of nice new products, and some ‘good old’ classics.
Ilanit Schoon - Welling
Account- & Projectmanager You will often see Ilanit at the trade fairs, especially in Germany as she loves to speak German. She answers all customers’ questions with a big smile and takes care of their orders. Always thinking of possibilities of making custom made items for museums, shops, events and more.
We would like to thank all our customers for the trust and support they gave us during the past year. You inspired us to work on our new collection and we proudly present these products in this Fall catalogue.
As a true “Amsterdammer” she considers Artis (Amsterdam Zoo) as an extension of her back garden and she cycles on her bike, with a big basket on the front.
Marije Couprie Stylist
The creative one, always searching for new ideas for products. Stylist of our trade fair booths and of the next catalogue. Marije is inspired by the simple things in life and turns nothing into something.
Follow us on:
Curious? You can meet Marije at the Maison & Objet Trade Fair in Paris.

Global Affairs
cares For people and product
Designing and selling nice products is what we love to do, but we care for more; we want to stand for the people who are producing these nice products for us. This is why all our products meet our Global Affairs Standard:
• Fair prices for the products we buy • Support the local communities by employing women who can now stay close to their families •D ecent working conditions and never using child labour • Long term relationships with our suppliers •U se of recycled and sustainable materials as much as possible
For children
We want to get all children smiling and with a little help, every child can smile. That’s why Global Affairs donates products to charity organizations in The Netherlands and in the Philippines.
Stichting Kalinga
More than 30.000 people live in Payatas, the biggest garbage dump of Manila (Philippines). They earn their money by separating waste. Among them there are many children. Kalinga Foundation helps these children through structural help with self-reliance as its goal. Kalinga believes that education is a basic need and therefore started the Papaya School. The Papaya School is a primary school where children get substantial education and a healthy meal every day. As primary school is just not enough, students can apply for a scholarship, to continue their education with the help of Kalinga Foundation.
Stichting Jarige Job
Global Affairs frequently donates products, some are given directly to the children in the Philippines and some are sold in the Netherlands. These earnings will be used to bring the education at the Papaya School to a higher level.
The ‘Jarige Job’ (Birthday Boy/Girl) Foundation wants to reduce the gap between richer and poorer children as much as possible. They make it possible for children between 4-12 years to celebrate their birthdays, if their parants can’t afford to buy presents themselves. ‘Jarige Job’ doesn’t give money but a ‘Birthday Box’ with all the necessities for a real celebration. This ‘Birthday Box’ includes festive decorations, goodies for at home, treats to share with the child’s class and, of course, a nice present.

Stichting Sinterklaas bestaat The charity is committed to give an average of 2,750 underprivileged children a great ‘Pakjesavond’(the night when St. Nicholas hands out presents to the children in The Netherlands). In cooperation with the Red Cross, the foundation organizes an annual ‘Sinterklaasfeest’ (St Nicholas party) in 12 to 15 cities throughout the Netherlands, with a bag full of lovely gifts for these children.

Crochet & Knitted
Crochet Rattle Duck CDU10
Peru Peru is a new production country for Global Affairs. We work with a cooperative in the Andes mountains, where our ducks and accessories are handmade by Inca women.
China All our crochet items are handmade of 100% organic cotton yarn. They are handmade by women in the Jiangsu provence of China. They can do this work at home - or close to home – so they don’t have to move to the city to find a job between the harvesting seasons. This way they can stay close to their family all year round.

India
Donkey Rattle CTDO12
Our soft toys are made In Kolkata (India) where we have a project to improve the social independence of women. They used to be completely depending on their husbands, but now these women make their own money. They feel important, independent and because they bring in a salary, their children don’t have to work and can go to school. So next time you buy one of our soft toys or handmade products, you help them a little as well...
