Throughout time, Tunisian artisans have created useful objects for daily life. They used primarily those materials available in their environment, such as wool and silks, olive wood, copper, clay, glass, and alpha grass. These objects, while both useful and beautiful, played an important role in the family economy. They were often sold or swapped at « Souk », the village weekly market day. Modern life inevitably brought changes in social and economic structures, distancing the hand that creates from the hand that buys. The Comptoirs de Carthage and their craftsmen bring you this world of authentic goods made with noble materials from generations of skilled knowledge. Handwoven hammam wraps from 12€ ; ceramic plates from 6€ ; rural pottery from 12€.
