Handloom
Naturally Crafted has a small collection of handwoven textiles from across Asia showing the skill of traditional weaving. Our selection features pieces crafted from premium wool, cotton, and silk, with some shawls being hand-dyed using natural pigments. Using ancient techniques on traditional wooden looms, often working with hand spun yarns, weavers create intricate designs that have been passed down through generations. This preservation of ancient craftsmanship results in textiles that have cultural significance to a specific country, region, or village. Naturally Crafted has a limited selection of unique, bespoke shawls, some of which are sourced from remote villages, and communities.
Range of Items and Their Origins
The store selection covers artifacts used for domestic and religious purposes and made from durable materials such as wood and metals. Our African artifacts represent local traditions, belief systems, and social status. The tribal artifacts for sale category includes smaller objects such as masks, baskets and carvings from various ethnic groups. are sourced from remote villages, and communities.
The birth of a deity
Hindu and Buddhist deities are beautifully sculptured and hold deep spiritual significance. Crafted from a range of materials, most commonly wood and metals like bronze and brass, these objects are more than just art, they are a focal point for devotion.
Used in rituals with altars for prayer, the deities embody specific powers. For instance, in Buddhism, practitioners pray to Green Tara for guidance and protection. In Hinduism, Ganesh is celebrated as the "Remover of Obstacles" and is prayed to for new beginnings, wisdom, and success. These sculptures are cherished as both objects of beauty and powerful spiritual conduits.
Every order we plant a tree
Naturally Crafted has partnered with JUST ONE Tree, as we are conscious that some of our items have had a long journey to get to you. Where we can, we prefer to use sea freight; however, this isn’t possible in all cases. Consequently, we occasionally rely on air freight. We acknowledge the carbon impact this creates, so we have partnered with JUST ONE Tree to help plant trees and regenerate nature.
JUST ONE Tree is an award-winning non profit dedicated to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reversing biodiversity loss through global reforestation. The initiative empowers individuals, schools, and businesses to take direct, collective action against the climate crisis. Their model is simple, every single £1 donated plants one tree.
Yet, their impact is complex and far reaching. They focus on restoring ecosystems on land and in the oceans, funding projects in countries like Kenya, Madagascar, Nepal, and Brazil. Their support has created sustainable livelihoods for local communities, where people have been hired and trained to plant trees. Famous for their "JUST ONE Tree Day," they unite thousands of schools internationally. By combining terrestrial reforestation with kelp forest regeneration, they tackle climate change from every angle, proving that when we come together, small individual contributions can collectively create a massive, enduring environmental impact.
