Frequently asked

Patronage & Craft, in plain terms.

How do we document custodianship?

Oral history with artisans, archive assembly and verified provenance. Four to eight months typically.

Can this generate income?

Through brand collaborations, institutional partnerships and licensing, where structured properly.

What about the artisans themselves?

Fair attribution and compensation should be structured before any commercial use. We will insist on it.

In more depth

Often the reason a craft survived.

See the whole practice

Custodianship is undocumented

Families are frequently the reason a weave, technique or tradition continues, and almost none of it is recorded.

Luxury brands want this and cannot find it

Maisons actively seek genuine craft provenance. Documented custodianship is exactly what they are looking for.

Named artisans, not anonymous heritage

Specific makers and verified technique carry credibility that generic heritage language does not.
