Craftelier began as a small family project. Everything started in 1983 with a small store of 90m² located downtown Leon (Spain). This store's name was "Bellas Artes" (Fine Arts in Spanish), which in 2010 started an expansion project introducing lots of new products and even new facilities, culminating with Mi tienda de Arte's site.
Mi Tienda de Arte is the leading retail company of craft and scrapbooking supplies in Spain and it's now aiming to extend this condition to the rest of Europe. We count with the latest technology, more than 30,000 products and 500m² of installations located in the county of Leon. Our constant adaptation capacity and strategic alliances with our partners (providers and couriers) make possible our orders to be delivered within 3-4 working days in all Europe.
At present Mi Tienda de Arte becomes CRAFTELIER to operate in Europe. Personalised service is our main concern and that's why CRAFTELIER encourages you to contact us. We will be happy to answer any kind of question or enquire! We are here to help you!
We cooperate
We have been cooperating with the Unthakal I Women’s Association from Anantapur, India. Everything started more than 15 years ago, when CRAFTELIER started cooperating the Vicente Ferrer foundation, sponsoring this fantastic association.
Thanks to your purchases we help women from Anantapur to be more valued and respected. It's very common for them to be discriminated just because of their gender condition and their "low" caste, making them an excluded class.
We strongly disagree with this situation. India is a country where women represent 48% of the population, they are also the ones managing the familiar economy and the main transmitters of values and traditions. However, their role is not acknowledged. India´s legislation admits equity and non-discrimination between genders but in spite of this being born a woman usually represents a liability for the family and the lower the social class, the worse.
Vicente Ferrer Foundation started a development program for women in 1982 with the purpose of revaluing their role in society through education and women participation in social and economic programs.
“De mujer a mujer” (From woman to woman) is a program that empowers the bonding between Spanish and Indian women, bringing new ideas into their world.
We also collaborate with the Quality Medical Attention Program for boys and girls. This program from the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, allows Indian children to get a quality medical attention.
Thank you for helping us to make of this a better world.
