Thurje Handmade is a brand of handicraft products. Thurje Handmade [alb. thurje (ˈθurːĩɛ) – en. weaving] revivals handcrafts, offering a collection of renovated handmade weaved products. The innovation of Thurje Handmade stands on the networking of skilled Albanian artisans and the new generation of designers, introducing a renewed vision for made-in-Albania products. Handcrafts have been a very important part of the lifestyle of Albanians, especially women. Girls would master the traditional techniques as soon as they turned 10 years old. Crocheting, embroidering and hand-looming were common skills for girls and women, but there was always competition on who would do the most beautiful and the most detailed work for their own dowry. The culture of handicrafts has almost disappeared with the modernization of our lifestyle, but Thurje Handmade rediscovers traditional ways of doing, conserving the same quality and offering refreshed products, designed to fit into the most curated and sophisticated contemporary interiors.
