About the founder:

Full Moon Collection manifests Ms. Fox’s passion for the country and people of Myanmar. Intrigued by her father’s WWII Burma stories, she first visited the country in 1980 during an extended SE Asia trip. This initial visit introduced her to the country’s distinctive arts and its artisan communities. Returning years later, with Myanmar opening to the world, she recognized an opportunity to present Myanmar’s handmade products to others. A veteran of the travel industry, Ms. Fox has extensive experience in the support of local economies, resident craftspeople, indigenous cultures, and small family businesses. She has been touched by many places and is privileged to celebrate those places, most especially Myanmar, its people and talented artisans.
