Black sea merchants was initially founded in May of 2006, while our website was launched in november of the same year. At Black sea merchants, our mission is to bring the finest quality hard-to-find and
One-of-a-kind goods from the countries and cultures of the Black sea to our customers at a fair and reasonable price. Currently, the majority of our hand-painted, hand-carved wooden products and crocheted products come from the republic of moldova; however, we are planning to explore other countries based on demand as well as expanding opportunities.
In order to do this, we scour the region and seek to develop mutually-beneficial relationships with the artisans and craftsmen who provide our products. Unlike most other companies, who deal only with
Third-party wholesalers, we work directly with the makers of our products, often purchasing products in their own villages, if not their own homes. It is this type of intimate relationship that allows us to deliver top quality products and value for our customers.
