Handibrand Crochet

Hello my name is Katerina and I am the founder/owner of Handibrand. My introduction to the world of crafts began as a child when I watched my Cretan grandmother as she carried out traditional weaving and needle work. Over the years, I developed a real love of bags eventually combining my love of bags with my artisanal heritage to create handmade crochet bags. Today, I have a craft supplies shop just outside Athens city centre where I stock everything from tools to a wide range of yarns, ribbons, cords, metal ornaments and metal-leather accessories specifically for making your very own crochet bag. Being a crochet bag enthusiast and maker, I’ve gone to great lengths to source the right materials and work with the right people to offer other crafters a comprehensive range of quality tools and materials required to make handmade crochet bags all under one roof! Over time, the Handibrand Store has evolved into much more than a craft supplies shop. I now have a team of people who all have a special role. Some help me run the shop. Others assist me in running regular workshops on the art of bag making while others produce eco-leather bag bases and accessories following my specifications designed to facilitate DIY bag making. And our focus is always on quality, durability and functionality. My shop is now a hub where crafters gather to exchange ideas, learn new techniques and support one another. I absolutely love what I do and to support my clients further, I also offer a range of DIY Crochet Bag Making Kits of varied difficulty based on my designs. Everything a crafter needs packaged into one kit which I’m now offering online together with step-by-step instructions supported by illustrations!
