Items produced in larger quantities have their place, but we believe that these objects, utensils, and foods made in small batches and shaped largely by hand hold true value that the mass cannot produce. Each one has a story, and each sign or flavor contributes a little to telling that story. Handmade items are often more visually pleasing and have a persona feel that manufactured products do not. There is an individuality to these beautiful items that connects two souls, the maker to the wearer, through the personal choices made. We look for makers and products that are aesthetically pleasing, have a great story, and make an impact on communities beyond simple utility. Some of our producers give back to society by providing training, dividends or employment to those in need. Some other products are made by people trying to perfect their craft and create something that has never existed before. Other products feature thoughtful design that improves life through use or can be redesigned. In addition, the majority of producers who produce handmade products produce handmade products in order to contribute to the family economy of those who cannot participate in business life for various reasons. We promise to support producers and artisans who produce handmade products and to collect stories and products that appeal to the eye, enrich the soul and warm the heart.
