Handcrafted Brands: Names to Know Right Now

In the age of fast fashion, it’s comforting to know, hidden within pockets of Instagram, that a crop of brands are emerging with a focus on exclusively handmade wares. Some, like Soko, make handmade, ethical goods from artisans abroad. Others, like Grovemade, repurpose materials like skateboard decks into one-of-a-kind desk accessories. Here’s our selections for must-know brands that embody the ethos, “Think globally, act locally.”

Shot of one of my chairs at the current @guesthouseshop at 3101 Humboldt Street in Denver. To all maker friends, GuestHouse is truly unlike any sales platform in the country. The company pairs locally produced artisan goods with high-end homes, creating a masterfully curated environment for clients to interact with your products firsthand. As a furniture-maker, I could not have conceived of a better format to display my work. Thank you to Alex Ryden and Anna Smith @annabode for your tireless effort and flawless execution of this event. . . . . . #aslowmoment #wearethemakers #capturemycraft #folkandcraft #houseandhome #ighome #onthetable #fellowmag #homedetails #kinfolklife #thevisualcollective #homecrush #mybohoabode #makehomeyours #ambularinteriorsaintgotnothingonme #lovetohome #simplystyleyourspace #actualinstagramhomes #handmade #denver #milehighmodern #milehighliving #5280home #shigouri #denverdesign #dowoodworking #woodworkersofinstagram #stellarspaces
