Have you ever held one of our products in your hands and wondered, “Where does this come from?” or “Why is it made here?” If so, you’re not alone. Over the years, I’ve encountered many customers filled with curiosity, and sometimes even disbelief, about the origins of our products. Today, I’d like to take you on a journey around the world, right from the comfort of your screen, to answer these questions once and for all.
The Artistry of Native American Beadwork
Our journey begins right here in the United States, where our beautiful beadwork products are crafted by Native American artists. This isn’t just about authenticity, it’s about community. We believe in supporting local artisans and giving back to the communities that enrich our catalog with their unique crafts. Our mission extends beyond being just another online store; we aim to be a platform where artists can thrive and customers can find genuine, handcrafted products.
The Tale of the Global Blade
Next, we travel across oceans and continents in search of the perfect blades. From the skilled craftsmen in Spain and France to the bustling factories in China and Taiwan, our blades tell a story of global craftsmanship. Why China, you ask? Well, it’s a little-known fact that about 70% of all knives are made in China. These knives are often produced following the exact specifications of the original manufacturers. While we strive to source from the original nation of origin whenever possible, the realities of modern manufacturing sometimes lead us elsewhere. Rest assured, though, we are always on the lookout for local blacksmiths who craft exceptional swords and knives.
The Vibrant Tapestries of India
Our journey wouldn’t be complete without a stop in India, home to our vibrant tapestries. Our decision to source from India was as much about the quality of the products as it was about the people behind them. We were impressed by the passion and dedication of the artisans we work with, and we’re always exploring new regions and cultures to bring a wider variety of products to you.
The Future of Our Catalog
Looking ahead, we’re excited about the possibility of adding Korean Mink Blankets to our inventory and finding more US-based manufacturers who create beautiful items. Every day brings new opportunities to discover and collaborate with talented artisans and manufacturers.
In conclusion, the best answer to “Why from there?” is simply this: We source our products from where we find the best combination of quality, authenticity, and ethical manufacturing practices. Our goal is to keep our doors open, not just for business, but as a gateway to a world of diverse and remarkable products.
