The word “handmade” evokes feelings of warmth, of comfort, of craftsmanship. Walking into Tee’s & R Creations’ Handmade Collective is like walking into Aladdin’s Cave; the eyes are instantly drawn to the beautiful array of handmade items. Colorful, rustic and bright, carefully stacked up in different levels of racks. Among these unique collection, the elegantly and rustically decorated bottles are sure to catch attention.
The place it new yet thriving, and headed by two sisters. Tee’s & R Creations began when Zeefia won an award at a crafts show organised by the company she works for. Her creations are so unique and heartwarming. Touched by these beautiful designs, many opted to buy them at any price. Thus her passion for designing and creating handcrafts grew even stronger, and the follow-up orders from the show gradually led them to the idea of starting their own handcrafts and deco business.
These two wonderful artisans create beautiful and unique handcrafts from bottles to ribbons, just about anything to touch someone’s heart. Their specialty, however, is rustic style home and event decors. The rustically-decorated candles, bottles, pen holders, table runners, journals are some of the many elegantly crafted items, meticulously made by hand. Every piece of their collection is exclusive, and created with love and passion.
Although both have their own careers, it was amazing to hear what the sisters had to say about their passion for handcrafts: “We have always wanted to do something of our own. Creations with our hands evokes a distinctive satisfaction; as we sit down to do our projects, the ticking of the clock goes unnoticed, tools feel comfortable, the mind devises, the hand takes control, thinks, designs and creates. The satisfaction gained is beyond words. Our handmade items have longevity, we want them to last, and even the materials are handpicked, so to ensure only the finest materials are used in our creations.” Truly these two amazing sisters take pride in their work.
At Tee’s & R, each item is individually hand crafted with true love, care and attention to detail. The close interaction they have with their customers ensures, the upmost finest product to suit the desired outcome, from colours to embellishments.
