CUSTOM MADE CRAFTS CENTER

About CUSTOM MADE CRAFTS CENTER

The CustomMade Crafts Center, Inc. (CMCC) is an initiative of the Philippine Program of the Non-Timber Forest Products Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP), a collaborative network of non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations that empowers forest-dependent communities to utilize and manage their forest resources in a sustainable manner. 

CMCC works with master weavers and indigenous artisans all over the Philippines to create beautiful and functional products that express the timeless traditions of these cultural communities while meeting the needs of the modern market. Through innovative product design, product diversification, branding and niche marketing, CMCC is expanding the market for these works of art, to ensure that these communities will continue their traditions and way of life, and keep on nurturing the forests that sustain them. 

CMCC engages in environmentally sustainable production practices, ensuring that raw materials are gathered in an environmentally-friendly way. CMCC adheres to fair trade practices: the pricing of products is guided by the principle of protecting both the rights of the artisans and consumers while maintaining economic viability. Income generated from sales is given back to the communities through continuous product development, technology transfer, capacity-building, promotion and marketing, and other related services. 

CMCC adheres to fair trade and sustainable consumption and production practices.
