Artizan International Shop

Whenever I visit a new place, I like to bring back souvenirs, usually an enamel pin for my wife and a snowglobe for my daughter. That’s what led me to Artizan. While they didn’t have either, I discovered a unique store in the heart of Harrogate. Artizan is a social enterprise supporting disabled artisans in the UK and overseas by offering training, employment, and a platform to showcase their handmade products. They also run the nearby Artizan café, which I did not have time to visit, but which provides meaningful work for disabled people. The shop offers a variety of earrings, bracelets, hair accessories, and handcrafted bags and purses, along with homeware such as Ecuadorian fabric square cushions and handmade cards featuring distinctive fabric designs. There is also a selection of organic products, including natural candles, hand cream, lip balms, and soaps, all of which can be purchased through their website.
