Who we are

HANDS was born from the friendship and partnership of two Geminis who met and worked together in the corporate environment for many years. Cleide and Iris, in addition to being coworkers, discovered a deep friendship and a common vision: to value crafts and its artists, giving greater visibility to this unique and significant art form.

At HANDS, we believe that every handcrafted piece tells a unique story and deserves to be cherished. Our commitment is to connect the talents of artisans with art lovers, creating a platform where creativity and innovation flourish.

Join us on this journey of celebrating beauty and artisanal talent!
