Welcome to Original Artisan, a brand new website/blog that brings the best of the Bolivia straight to your door.
Over the next few weeks I’m going to be bringing you some great products direct from the continent of South America, including some amazing stuff from the world’s highest capital city – La Paz and loads of great handmade products from the indigenous tribes living high in the mountains of the Andes.
Everything you see here on this site is sourced directly from local artisans and bought at a fair trade and price defined by the skilled craftsmen and women who create them.
They are sourced by my own family who have been living, working and trading with the South American people for over twenty years and have the knowledge and experience to select the best and most charismatic pieces for me to sell to my readers.
The idea of this blog is to create more of a personal sale experience for my buyers and I really do urge anyone interested in anything they see here to contact me if they have any queries or need more information on an item.
Also, if there are any products that you are interested in that are not featured on this website and originate from countries in South America such as Bolivia, Peru or Columbia etc. then feel free to contact me and I will do my best to get hold of them for you. (No drug barons or cartels please !)
This blog is brand new and will take time to get up to speed, but stay tuned for some amazing goods and great bargains coming this way..
..and remember, everything you see here is created by an Original Artisan.
