Craft a more
meaningful tomorrow

Objects made slowly by people we can name. Wood, iron, clay and cloth, worked by hand and priced so they can actually be used rather than admired.

Fable and Forge

Free delivery

On every order over ninety-five dollars, packed in paper.

Sixty days

Long enough to know whether a thing has earned its place.

Named makers

Every listing carries the maker and the workshop.

Small runs

Made in tens, so no two pieces are ever quite identical.

Three trades

Every workshop we buy from keeps to one discipline and does it properly.

Wood

Wood

Bowls, boards and stools turned and joined by hand from single boards.

Iron

Iron

Hooks, tools and hardware forged and finished at a single bench.

Slower, and better for it

A bowl takes a day. A blade takes three. We would rather sell you one thing you keep for thirty years than ten you replace every spring.

Every maker named

The workshop and the person are on every listing. If we cannot name them, we do not carry the piece.

One warm palette

Forest, copper and raw material. Everything sits together on a shelf.

Small runs

Made in tens.

Paper packed

No plastic in the box.

What people say

Five stars
The board has been in daily use for two years and has only got better looking. It was worth every penny.
Tomas W. Verified buyer
Five stars
Knowing who made the thing changes how you treat it. I have not put a single piece from here in a cupboard.
Neve C. Verified buyer
Five stars
Slower to arrive than the usual shops and completely worth the wait. Everything came wrapped in paper and straw.
Rafe D. Verified buyer

Made by hand

Turned, forged or woven at a bench rather than pressed out by the thousand.

Named workshops

Every maker and their town, listed plainly on the product page.

Paper packed

Recycled card, paper tape and straw wadding. Nothing plastic travels.

Sixty-day returns

A prepaid label and no long form asking why it did not suit.

Notes from the bench

New pieces, restock notes and the occasional word from a workshop. Twice a month, never more.
