Alpha Art Trade Unites Crafts & Sustainability

Unifying Local Artisans with Sustainability

Have you ever dreamed that one day you would know the origin, the materials, the techniques and the artisans that are hiding behind the fabrication of your coffee mug, dining table, musical instrument and clothing? Have you ever dreamed that artisans would never have to depend on the inhabitants of their cities, nor on the tourists who pass by in the high season and could live from their art all year long?

Have you ever dreamed that you would not have to restrict yourself to buying products of unaware and uncertain provenance and could rather have direct access to the work of local artisans while learning about their craftsmanship? Then you have probably dreamed one day that Alpha Art Trade would exist.
