Edition · Our story

Moroccan art, shaped by hand and passed through time

Make Moroccan craftsmanship a gateway to the product, culture, territory, experience, and the economic development of artisans.

Mission

Who we are

Our commitment to artisans

At YEDART, we have chosen to build a different relationship with the artisans and cooperatives we work with.

Our approach rests on a simple principle: respecting the value that artisans themselves place on their work. For each selected piece, we ask them the price they usually charge the general public in Morocco. That price is our starting point.

Our model is therefore not based on seeking the lowest purchase price, but on creating value around craftsmanship: selection, storytelling, photography, international distribution, customer experience, and access to new markets.

Because fairness is not only about buying at a fair price, YEDART wants to go further. We are gradually developing a bonus system designed to reward artisans and cooperatives whose creations meet with particular success, while also taking into account quality, consistency, the transmission of know-how, and their progress.

Thus, as YEDART grows, we want those at the origin of the pieces to benefit from that growth as well.

Our relationship with artisans therefore does not end with buying and selling. We also work alongside them on promoting their creations, storytelling, quality, pricing, product presentation and, progressively, their access to professional and international markets.

Preserving craftsmanship does not only mean telling its story. It also means enabling those who keep it alive to draw lasting value from it.

This is the conviction that guides YEDART: building a model in which heritage, creation, commerce, and human development advance together.

Our story

Another way to create value

Through our encounters in the field, one evidence became clear: behind every rug, every embroidery, every carved or woven object, there is far more than a product. There is time, transmission, a family history, a territory, and sometimes several generations of craftsmanship.

YEDART was born from this desire to bring these creators closer to new audiences without erasing their identity or reducing their work to mere merchandise.

Our ambition is simple: to let Moroccan craftsmanship shine while remaining faithful to those who keep it alive.

Fair trade

Our fair-trade approach

At YEDART, we want the promotion of Moroccan craftsmanship to go hand in hand with a fairer sharing of the value created.

Our approach draws on the principles of fair trade and rests above all on respect for the work, craftsmanship, and autonomy of the artisans and cooperatives we collaborate with.

Our vision of fair trade is that of a lasting relationship in which everyone should be able to progress: the artisan, their territory, YEDART, and the communities that help preserve these skills.

Because letting Moroccan craftsmanship shine only makes sense to us if that success also benefits those who keep it alive.

YEDART Create value, share it, and pass it on.
