Artisan Argentina 

Artisan Argentina arises as an initiative aimed to promote Argentine artisan work in Switzerland with a careful selection of high-quality, hand-crafted products.

We prioritize products coming from economically-weak areas and which are of high cultural value to Argentina, to support the development of vulnerable sectors, creating sustainable business opportunities. With this initiative, we intend to promote human dignity from a genuine source of work in the context of a cultural exchange between Argentina and Switzerland.
