We have our own production of furniture and accessories for the home in native pine wood. We also commission artisans to produce wooden items in our own designs as well as their own traditional items.
We are proud to promote and offer store space to organized groups of artisan women in different areas of the country as well as different types of crafts such a textile and other natural fiber weaving, pottery, beading, stone carving.
