Handmade Stories isn’t just about what we make—it’s about who, how and why we make it. We believe in slow, thoughtful fashion that values craftsmanship, culture, and community. Here’s what makes our process different:

Designed in-house, made by hand

We create each design and garment in-house, working directly with the artisans who create them. Every pattern, stitch, and motif is infused with history and meaning. Unlike mass production, our pieces are crafted in small family-run workshops and by independent makers—each one with unmatched experience and their own story to tell. 

Limited edition by design

Our collections are produced in small batches. The intricate process behind each piece means that every design is available only in limited quantities. When you own a Handmade Stories piece, you hold something truly unique—crafted with intention. You’re not only supporting stories, you're living them too.  

Fair Trade

We follow WFTO's principles, ensuring that every artisan is paid fairly and in full—before production even begins. Our artisans set the prices for their work, ensuring that they get paid in a way that truly reflects their skill and effort. 

Supporting communities, their way

We actively invest in training programs and community development initiatives. Rather than dictate what artisans need, we listen. The communities we work with decide where our funding goes—whether it’s education, workshops, or infrastructure. Because they know best. 

Preserving traditions, protecting the future

Many of the techniques we cherish—like traditional weaving—are at risk of disappearing. By supporting these crafts, we ensure they don’t become forgotten skills of the past, but thriving techniques of the present.
