Maestrale has spent the last twelve years building relationships with artists and craftsmen throughout Southeast Asia. Each year we travel abroad in search of exotic and exquisite handmade treasures to enhance your living space and enrich your life. We work with artisans and craftsmen in India, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, and Thailand, respecting their artistry, cultural aesthetics, and the diverse traditions they represent. By making the work of indigenous artists available to you, we encourage employment opportunities, help preserve ancient traditions, and promote economic sustainability, allowing the artists to maintain their traditional lifestyles with dignity. Maestrale (my-stra'-le), in Italian, is the name for a strong northwest wind. Chosen because it evokes the feeling of a strong wind carrying things, like the treasures we import from Asia home to you in Port Townsend.
