Our Philosophy
“Mind Crafted Hand Designed”
At Handcrafted Designz, all designz are never one in the same and all are one of a kind. Uniquely mind crafted hand designed. All fabric material (unless otherwise stated) is 100% acrylic fiber yarn crocheted on copper hooks. We specifically choose the chemical element, C (for copper) for it’s known healing properties including but not limited to; supporting immune & nervous system, and protecting cells from damages. Copper is also a high electric generator of heat & transmitter of electricity.
Our Founder
“Many times, I really was a “minority” in a group setting. Not in my social setting, of course, I was around my own peers but for example, in a corporate setting, where I spent most of my days. In these environments, I naturally stood out. But when I would wear adornments particularly culturally identifying, I would have inquisitive minds ask me questions personally that they maybe couldn’t find on reddit or online. I used to really love this reaction becos who I really was set me apart and I was OK with that. I really embraced my cultural identity and was proud of the cultural creativity I had ethnically. I desired to represent that part of me. Always & in all ways”. – AP, The Founder of HCD

“There is a vibration between the universe and the human body. We are dedicating these hand crafts as an unspoken oath to the ancestors that came before us. We use these elements like crocheting and fire healing to culturally preserve which is what I know my ancestors would’ve wanted. It’s important for me to choose handcrafted rather than fashion jewelry because there’s a connection there and a deep spiritual one for me” – AP.
