CraftNation.com will be a platform which supports designers who want to make a step that maybe difficult at the start. How do contemporary craft designers fit into a sustainable eco-system?

“Making products that are un-desired and do not sell is un-sustainable from a financial as well as an ecological point of view, they become instant waste.”

The CraftNation.com Team

CraftNation.com is interested in the end product and the message it carries to the consumer. CraftNation.com believe in using buying power to support what you believe in.

How?

• To drastically cut product manufacturing waste by stocking desirable goods.
• To refuse to stock poor quality goods and accessories.
• To source locally, minimising excessive product miles.

CraftNation.com will sell desirable handmade artisan products that evoke an emotional connection with the consumer, that take into consideration their impact, while at the same time being transparent about the process of production.

By selling high quality, handmade, artisan crafts which minimise impact on the environment, we support designers and help create wealth in the communities they came from.

Our handmade artisan crafts are low mileage, minimal in packaging and keep essential traditional arts and crafts skills alive. Our products are ethical in source material as well as production. CraftNation.com artisans don't use big factories to produce, they use grey matter and handmade power by established designers.

We are working to support the thriving craft renaissance and support British and European manufacturers and craftsmen, as well as helping drive profits from sales back into the communities they came from.

Our desirable handmade, artisan crafts selection will be the most jubilant in the world.
