Craft Itineraries by AOW Handmade
Through AOW Handmade’s on-the-ground collaborations, we curate access to artisan regions and cultural routes for designers, buyers, and creative travelers.
These itineraries are developed in partnership with trusted local experts — offering meaningful encounters with traditional workshops, materials, and craftspeople.
AOW Handmade does not lead group tours. Instead, we work alongside regional partners in Romania and Moldova to create personalized introductions and craft-centered routes that reflect each region’s pace and integrity.
Our Approach
Each itinerary emerges from AOW’s field research and relationships with artisans. Whether you’re a brand seeking inspiration, a designer exploring traditional processes, or a cultural traveler interested in craft heritage, AOW facilitates tailored access through in-country collaborators.
Current Destinations
• Romania — weaving, ceramics, textiles
• Moldova — embroidery, rugs, rural crafts
Future regions: Bhutan, Morocco, and beyond.
Price: AOW receives commission from trusted partners in-country.
