UNIQUE ITEMS AND ORIGINALITY

Handmade items are not mass produced meaning each item has a unique display of craftsmanship. Every item has its own character that is to be admired, offering authenticity and a guarantee that no two pieces are ever the same.

Additionally, it is difficult to replicate each item due to the details in every piece, even when the products are of the same style, colour, texture and shape. This adds personality into every piece and accentuates the charm of handmade items.

Each artisan has a personality of his/her own which can be seen in their works. Their designs are never copied and do not follow any design trends.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABILITY

If something is handcrafted it means that these items are made by humans and not machinery, therefore there are less production facilities and waste, being more environmentally friendly.

Additionally, they are created using recycled materials and greener processes. This means that handmade items are a better alternative for those who would like to shop more consciously and environmentally friendly.

APPRECIATING SKILLS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AND LOCAL ARTISAN SUPPORT

Handmade items and local artisans

Every person is gifted with a certain skill so it is important for us to encourage and appreciate the skills of people who are around us.

Each country or region has its own unique way of creating art, depending on that culture, beliefs and the materials available. Skills and craftsmanship is not just making a simple product, it is about creating a story behind every item made.

As a community we can help to share our thoughts on traditional craftsmanship and the beautiful cultures that come along with it. This way, we are supporting the community of local artisans around the world and helping others to appreciate their skills.

By supporting local artisans, you are supporting someone who is pursuing their passion and complimenting their work. There are endless ways to integrate a bit of culture into our lives by the simple act of choosing handmade home decor instead of mass-produced items.

EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY

The artisans understand their materials and their art, bringing out their best qualities and their work is made with durability in mind. You can see the time, talent and effort it takes to create each object, whether that is a small home accessory or a large furniture piece.

In addition, mass produced products are made as inexpensively as possible to maximise profits, whereas artisans typically create items with only the best, most traditional materials.

There is no comparison between items that have been mass produced compared to items that have been carefully thought through and shaped by humans.

THERE’S A STORY IN EVERYTHING

Each handcrafted item has a story to tell. Each artisan has spent time learning a skill and perfecting their techniques in craftsmanship, pouring their passion into every single item.
