“Bringing unique handmade Artisan Goods from the Mediterranean to the World.”
Have you ever purchased an item whilst on holiday, brought it home and had numerous comments about how wonderful and unique the product is?
Welcome to Artemissia, my name is Megan Tomaras and I am the founder of Artemissia Shop, my online boutique that offers unique handmade artisan goods from the Mediterranean to the world.
It would be fair to say that I have become a philhellene by definition, and to those who know me that wouldn’t come as a surprise.
Philhellene ("the admirer of Greeks and everything Greek"), from the Greek φίλος philos "friend, lover" and ἑλληνισμός hellênismos "Greek"
I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively throughout Greece and the Mediterranean, and on my journey have been blessed to have met some wonderful people. I also made connections with some truly talented local artisans who made some of the most unique products. Of course the shopper in me over indulged and more than a few mementos were purchased.
After returning home from my travels I would often get many comments from friends and strangers alike about something I was wearing or a unique handbag I was carrying. Most often than not the follow up would be “where can I get this?” or “the quality is unbelievable”.
So naturally it made sense to bring all things that I love together - shoes, handbags, all things summer, and travelling throughout Greece and the Mediterranean to create a business that not only supports the beautiful people who create the product, but also my passion to find unique artisan products and bring them to you.
I truly hope you enjoy your time visiting the store and I look forward to bringing you more unique products.
