My name is Kaspars Boriss. I am from Latvia and I created Latvian Amber online store, to help Latvian people sell its joinery. 

All artists & makers listed on Latvian Amber Store are Latvia based and produce only handmade goods.

I set up Latvian Amber Store with the aim of helping  artists & makers to promote and grow their small business and to find a place in a market overflowing with mass produced items.

Why Buy Handmade?
There are so many reasons to consider handmade goods over and above mass produced goods, here are a few:

Buying handmade from Latvian makers means you are supporting Latvian small businesses and in-turn our Latvian economy, and Latvians can stay on their country, and they do not need to go to other countries to seek employment

Handmade products are often one of a kind and very unique, something the high street can't afford to offer you.

Handmade products are made with love, care and attention to detail.

Handmade = quality, products are tested usually by the designer themselves and as their name and reputation goes with that product you can rest assured it is quality.

Handmade products = value for money, you don't pay for wholesalers or middle men you pay for the product only.
