The Collective was founded in 2019 to provide customers with a thoughtfully curated line of handcrafted home accessories. Our goods have been created to engage your senses using authentic materials that fit into your personal style.
Our product is crafted with intention. Each piece is made in small batches by hand, using time-honored techniques and attention to detail, creating warmth and finishes not achieved in machine made products.
We support our industry as well as global causes and give back to organizations actively engaged in social change. Each purchase from The Collective makes an impact.
Our artisans are masters in their trades, crafting each piece using centuries-old techniques in sculpting, metal forging, woodworking, casting and hand etching. We’ve taken these traditions and applied them to new designs we are proud to introduce. In this way, our craftspeople continue to celebrate and share their rich cultural heritage.
