Create an Opportunity for an Artisan Around the World with Far & Wide Collective
It is my great pleasure introduce Far & Wide Collective to our followers. Far & Wide Collective is a fashion and home décor marketplace of handmade goods from around the globe. Far & Wide Collective was created by Hedvig Christine Alexander, who after spending considerable time in Afghanistan saw how even the most talented craftswomen and men were unable to connect with buyers abroad. Consequently, they could not benefit from the increased demand for beautiful, authentic, and handmade items in recent years. As current online retail business models largely exclude emerging-market craft producers, Hedvig decided to create an online marketplace that would focus entirely on bringing a new segment of makers to the international market. Far & Wide Collective is the result.
With most products being mass-produced these days, it is refreshing to find a site where artisans around the world can display their goods to the public, yet retain their individuality and specialty. Far & Wide Collective purchases the products from the artisans at their asking market price. The profits are then re-invested back into the artisan businesses, allowing them to grow.
Far & Wide Collective devotes a section of the site to each individual artisan explaining who they are, and how their items were created.
Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us, so now is the perfect time to take a gander at some of the unique handmade items that are listed on this site. Just look around at their Home Décor products, or their Clothing and Accessories, or Jewelry. Are you looking for something special, but you do not have a firm idea of what you would like to get? Then glance at their Gift section, where a multitude of products is listed according to price. Each price range has a variety of suggested items. Did you find a favorite item?
I simply love this Set of Peacock Bookends from Afghanistan. I have grown to love and appreciate the artisanship in handmade wooden products, and think these bookends are gorgeous. These bookends would look perfect on our bookcase.
