WHY WE CHAMPION ARTISAN BUSINESSES
Choosing to support an artisan business is about more than just a purchase, it’s about valuing creativity, sustainability, and ethical craftsmanship.
We carefully select brands that:
- Are founder-led, with hands-on involvement in their business.
- Have a clear identity, focusing on what they do best.
- Care about sustainability and thoughtful sourcing.
- Create high-quality, handmade products that stand the test of time.
THE ARTISAN FOUNDER PODCAST
INSPIRING FOUNDER STORIES
The Artisan Founder Podcast brings you closer to the voices shaping the world of independent brands.
Each episode is a conversation with inspiring founders—some at the start of their journey, others with decades of experience. Whether discussing the challenges of growing a business or the joy of working with their hands, these are stories worth listening to.
THE ARTISAN FOUNDER JOURNAL
INSPIRING FOUNDER STORIES
Beyond the handmade products themselves, we believe the stories behind them are just as important. The Artisan Journal is where we uncover the journeys, inspirations, and challenges of the makers we feature.
From traditional techniques passed through generations to modern brands redefining craftsmanship, our Journal is a place to pause, read, and appreciate the artistry behind the goods we choose to bring into our lives.
An inspiring story of crafting a uniquely recognisable artisan style.
