We are purveyors of handcrafted goods.
In today's world of mass-produced goods, FORGE strives to bring a sense of origin and purpose to the everyday objects in our lives. We pair our values and beliefs with an appreciation for design, function and craftsmanship to curate a collection of home and lifestyle products that keep small studios working, help independent craftspeople earn a fair wage for their skilled practices and minimize the environmental impacts of production. Our thoughtfully curated selection of goods range from modern home décor and ceramics to jewelry and beauty products— all produced by independent artisans and craftspeople using traditional and sustainable processes to create enduring products.

FORGE was created by first-time business owner Alexandra Montaperto as a place to share with others what inspires her own life—it’s simply a collection of all her favorite things.
Alex’s passion is championing the work of independent craftsmen and artisans who are using traditional and sustainable processes to create the highest quality goods. The goods at FORGE are about practicality and function, paired with a timeless and minimalist aesthetic—all with the intention of keeping small studios working, helping independent craftspeople earn a fair wage for their skilled practices and minimizing the environmental impacts of production.

For every product there is a story of the hands that made it.
By sharing the story behind the goods we sell, we endeavor to forge human connections between the consumer and maker, helping people to better appreciate the value of the goods they buy and feel more connected to the everyday items they surround themselves with. We want people to be thoughtful about what they purchase so they’ll love it for a long time.
