The Astra Aesthete brand is devoted to bringing local businesses around the world to the spotlight. This social marketplace encourages mindful and intentional consumption by showcasing the creator, the product and the story behind it.

We believe that every local business is a star, and we want to highlight how and why. We aim to inspire people to see the world through the Aesthete lens, which is a mindful and intentional viewpoint that allows you to fully experience and appreciate what our ‘astra’ have to offer.

We will work with our clients to develop a collection that consumers can only purchase through our e-commerce platform.  Joining our community gives consumers access to useful resources, including advice, tools, and testimonials across a variety of industries.
