In my opinion, handicrafts in Moldova are very underestimated. One of the reason is the poverty in that small country, from the European geographical centre.
For many years, Moldova "is bathing" in corruption, law breaches on the highest level and the biggest rate of poverty in Europe, competing with Albania, another poor European country.
In that environment, with poor sales market, it is very hard for any industry to progress. Are surviving only companies and business affiliated to one or another government parties.
Handicrafts and crafts, in general, became for many people a refuge - both spiritually and financially. People were starting to do handmade products, to control their time, to apply their pieces of knowledge and to feed their families.
One of the best solutions for that activity is to start selling handicrafts abroad. This is the main scope of the online store http://moldovahandicrafts.com/, which are selling Moldovan handicrafts in the UK and Ireland. Surprisingly, English and Irish people like very much Moldovan handicrafts and are buying it with big enthusiasm. We hope, in the near future, Moldovan handicrafts will be very popular in the Albion and will save the craftsmen from poverty and incertitude.
