In a world where we are ever more surrounded by the manufactured, the plastic and the mass-produced, we have come to believe that the most precious objects to be found anymore are those that are made by hand. We love anything that has a story behind it, anything an actual human being made and cared about, anything old and unique…anything that they aren’t making any more of these days. As consummate travelers, we are always discovering such beautiful objects in hidden corners of the world.
