Custom made has a new name, carved from values of the past in order to reconstruct our future.

Because time-honoured skills deserve recognition. Because throwaway culture deserves disposal. Because quality has no substitute. Because we believe in bespoke products crafted in passion’s name, rich in story and sentiment. Our community thrives on connection. We listen. We care about your narrative. About the tales of great-great grandparents who bestowed on us their greats, their talents, their talented. We want to create more stories. To help transform wild ideas into masterpieces to bequeath to future generations.

Let’s build a better way. Together.

Handkrafted was born out of a passion for quality and authenticity. Frustrated by the poor quality of mass-produced goods, and not being able to easily find someone to make the items he had in mind, Fred Kimel came up with the idea of creating a marketplace that would make it simple for anyone to be able to connect with the right craftspeople and artisans to produce unique, high-quality and sustainably made goods.

We believe in uncovering the stories behind the products we buy - connecting customers with the people who made them, providing insight into how the pieces were made and letting them have a voice in shaping their own designs. There’s a sentimentality and meaning behind handmade goods that is unparalleled by anything mass-produced.

We want everyone to feel that working with a maker to produce a unique, sustainably made item is a viable alternative to the mass-produced goods typically available.
