Creating sustainable employment for producers of handicrafts and arts
Everything is hand made
And everything is from Azerbaijan
At Folk Art we sell hand made souvenirs, arts and crafts by Azerbaijani artisans. Our vision is to create sustainable employment for producers of handicrafts and arts according to FairTrade principles, particularly in rural areas among the many minority groups of Azerbaijan. In our store you will find jewelry, pottery, traditional Azerbaijani dolls, leather-works and many other interesting and beautiful products. These all makes for excellent souvenirs from your travels in Azerbaijan.

Our Producers
Folk Art is a link between producers from remote villages off the beaten path and the urban centers where unique, authentic gifts that make a difference are wanted. We try to keep good relationships with all our producers from all over Azerbaijan. You can learn more about Azerbaijan, our culture and crafts traditions on our About Azerbaijan page. We follow the FairTrade principles so our producers get a good price. We hope that we by this will help maintain Azerbaijan’s rich traditions of arts and crafts. We could not do this without the help of Our Partners.
