Discover the Heart of Wales Through Authentic Handmade Crafts
At Crafts Cymru, we've created more than just an online marketplace - we've built a thriving community that celebrates the very best of Welsh craftsmanship. Nestled in the heart of Wales, our platform brings together talented artisans from every corner of the country, offering you a carefully curated selection of authentic Welsh products that simply can't be found on high streets or mainstream marketplaces.
What truly sets us apart is our deep commitment to preserving Wales' rich cultural heritage while supporting the talented makers who keep these traditions alive. Each product in our collection tells a unique story - whether it's a love spoon carved using centuries-old techniques, a woollen blanket woven with patterns passed down through generations, or contemporary ceramics inspired by Wales' breathtaking landscapes. We personally vet every artisan who joins our platform, ensuring they meet our exacting standards for quality, authenticity and customer service.
A Marketplace That Puts Welsh Makers First

We founded Crafts Cymru because we saw how traditional marketplaces were failing Welsh artisans. While large platforms charge exorbitant commissions and treat makers as mere suppliers, we've created a fairer alternative designed specifically for Welsh craftspeople. Our subscription model means sellers keep 100% of their earnings (minus unavoidable payment processing fees), allowing them to invest more in their craft rather than seeing their profits eroded by excessive platform fees.
This ethical approach benefits you as a buyer too. When you purchase through Crafts Cymru, you can be certain you're getting authentic Welsh products at fair prices, with more of your money going directly to support the maker rather than lining the pockets of a multinational corporation. Many of our sellers tell us this fairer system allows them to spend more time perfecting their craft, resulting in higher quality products for you to enjoy.
Quality and Authenticity You Can Trust
In an age of mass production and disposable goods, we stand for something different. Every item in our collection has been carefully reviewed to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. We work closely with our makers, visiting workshops where possible, to understand their techniques and materials. This hands-on approach means we can confidently stand behind every product we offer.
Our vetting process looks beyond just the finished product. We evaluate each maker's commitment to their craft, their use of traditional or locally-sourced materials, and their dedication to customer satisfaction. This means when you shop with us, you're not just buying an object - you're acquiring a piece of Welsh heritage made with care and skill that simply can't be replicated by factory production.
Thoughtful Shopping That Makes a Difference

Choosing Crafts Cymru means making an ethical shopping decision with far-reaching benefits. By supporting our Welsh makers, you're helping to sustain traditional crafts that might otherwise disappear, preserving skills that have been part of our culture for generations. You're contributing to the Welsh economy and helping talented artisans make a living from their craft.
Many of our makers incorporate sustainable practices into their work, using locally-sourced materials, natural dyes, and eco-friendly packaging. While sustainability options vary between sellers, we actively encourage and promote these responsible choices. Some of our woodworkers use timber from sustainably managed Welsh forests, while textile artists often work with wool from local flocks, reducing transportation emissions and supporting Welsh agriculture.
Exceptional Service With a Personal Touch
Shopping with Crafts Cymru offers an experience you simply won't find with impersonal online retailers. Many of our makers include handwritten notes with their shipments, sharing the story behind your purchase. Some offer beautiful gift wrapping options or will work with you to create custom pieces for special occasions.
We pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with both our makers and customers. If you have questions about a product's origins or craftsmanship, we'll put you in touch directly with the artisan who created it. This personal connection transforms your shopping experience from a simple transaction into a meaningful interaction with the people behind the products.
The Perfect Gift for Any Occasion

Whether you're looking for a birthday present, anniversary gift, or special souvenir, our collection offers something truly unique for every occasion. Our traditional Welsh love spoons make unforgettable wedding gifts, carrying centuries of romantic symbolism. Handwoven wool scarves and blankets provide warmth and comfort while celebrating Wales' textile heritage. Slate homeware and Welsh-language gifts offer beautiful ways to keep connections to Wales alive, no matter where in the world you are.
What makes these gifts truly special is knowing they were made by hand with care and skill, rather than rolling off a factory production line. The recipient will appreciate not just the beauty of the object itself, but the story and tradition behind it - something no mass-produced gift can offer.
