Our Story
Østerland was founded to pay homage to aesthetic, Middle East, refugees and heritage. Our journey began in 2021 when we took the role of connecting overlooked but exceptionally passionate artisans to the world. In today’s Middle East and Afghanistan there are thousand of skilled artisans - crafts men and women, refugees amongst them - who are in need of recognition. Armed conflict, climate change, and political instability has deprived them their rightful place in society and they struggle to reach their aspirations. It is our dream in Østerland to empower those dedicated artisans, to support them in preserving and spreading their unique art beyond their local communities and to celebrate the beauty of artistry.
