Welcome to Handmade In Albania!

Are you looking for beautiful, handmade knits to add to your winter wardrobe, or to give as a gift to a special person in your life? Do you want your purchase to support your values and have a positive impact on others? Then you’ve come to the right website!

Each of our items were knitted by Arjana, Merita, Linda, Roshi, or Nazmijë five women living in a small Albanian village. Through your purchases, these talented women become part of the global marketplace, gaining the skills and confidence to play a key role in their family’s economic futures.  

The site you are looking at is a zero-profit endeavor: 100% of the purchase price goes directly to the woman who knitted your item, helping her support her family and gain financial security. Every purchase helps these women pay for expenses like emergency medical care, school supplies, or family utility bills.

This is very valuable seasonal work for these women. Every fall we open from October thru December, and you can discover a variety of lovely, practical, and unique knits on our website, each made with care by our group of remarkable ladies!

If you’re visiting between January and September, and the shop is currently closed, you can still use the ‘wish list‘ feature as you browse to save your favorites for the fall! Also, you can scroll to the bottom of the page to subscribe to our newsletter so you’ll be the first to hear when the store re-opens and new items are available!
