Born in the USA

Every now and then, a customer will ask us how it could be that a mobile costs 200 dollars or how a candle can sell for 70 dollars. While these prices might seem high, we are always proud to provide an answer: these beautiful objects were made in the United States.

Artisans strives to offer jewelry, woodwork, kitchenware, ceramics and textiles that are made in the United States. In fact, over 95% of our products are made here. We are willing to pay a higher price for items that are made either by the artists themselves, or skilled craftspeople working closely with the artist. This ensures not only a beautiful product, but also one that helps our economy and American workers.

While overseas production is neither bad nor wholly unavoidable, we hope that you will think about this topic next time you look at a price tag. It might be more expensive, but it will also have proudly been made in America.
