Why Handmade Matters: A Celebration of Craftsmanship
KEEPING THE ART OF SPECIALISED CRAFTSMANSHIP ALIVE
Keeping the art of specialization alive is an integral part of what we believe in. It is becoming more and more rare that specialized trades are passed onto next generations or keen learners. The majority of fashion and retail has become mass produced using machinery.
Our mission is to reconnect with the small artisanal makers, to support their skills and encourage next generations to immerse themselves in this valuable knowledge.
Specifically finding individuals and families that produce on a small scale within Greece, ensuring the quality of each item is the best but also finished in its own unique way.
The difference between an item mass produced in a factory and an item carefully created in a studio is tangible. When the focus is on the creation and not on the profit, this is a realistic and achievable mission, one that we have already successfully pursued.
FIND PERFECTION IN THE IMPERFECTIONS
We strive to create products that are each finished with their own unique ‘imperfections’. This shows the care, time and energy that has gone into each individual piece, giving it a special meaning. The more one invests in something, the higher the value, this is evident with our handcrafted, timeless pieces.
GIVE A SENTIMENTAL GIFT
Only 10 pieces of each design of jewelry will be produced, each piece comes with a card explaining this. With each ceramic piece and scent product, the handcrafted nature is instantly understood. The body products are created in Greece in small batches using essential oils and natural extracts. The resort is designed and handsewn in Greece. These items are more than gifts, they resemble the time and care that has not only gone into making them but also gone into seeking out these unique treasures. This valentine’s give more than just a gesture, gift a sentiment and experience.
