Arlene (owner of Lord Design) and Anna (owner of Carter & Rose) discuss the value of handmade items in our homes. Especially now, after months spent indoors, people are emotionally connected to their personal spaces. Knowing the origin and story behind an item constructs a story in your home.
Trust is an integral part of the business and design process. When products are locally made and people are able to interact with the makers, the trust formed creates a meaningful connection between the two. Every single piece sold at Carter & Rose is made by hand, often by Anna herself. She describes the quality of a handmade product as perfectly imperfect — beautifully said!
