Top 5 Handcrafted Gifts
1) Lacquer-Embossed Leather Key Case - Black
This leather key case is carefully handmade in Japan by artisans who practice traditional methods that date back to 1582. Originally used as a way to decorate and boost the durability of leather pieces on Samurai armor, lacquer is embossed onto supple deerskin leather for a beautiful layer of protection. The intricate design gives the case a distinctive finish and makes one a gift rich in history.
2) Custom Map Clock with Easel
A custom map clock crafted from marble keeps the memory of a special place—a first home, stand-out vacation, or wedding—alive while it keeps the time. Turkish marble is tumbled to make it one-of-a-kind, and a location from anywhere in the United States and the nine square mile-surrounding area are featured on the map. A compass rose will mark the exact spot and the map’s legend can be customized, too. Cast iron easel included. Made in Rhode Island.
3) Dopp Kit
This dopp kit keeps accessories organized in a sturdy, stylish way. Artistic on the outside and water-resistant on the inside, striking motifs are matched with practical functionality. Made in New York and ready to go wherever, these handy bags are the perfect size for globetrotters.
4) Book Themed Infinity Scarf
STORIARTS: Book Themed Infinity Scarf - Strange the Dreamer
5) Layered 3D Framed Paper Flower Bouquet
