About Arcadia Home

Dawn Kikel founded Arcadia Home in 2001 following her travels around the world for business and pleasure. Captivated by the artisan-made goods she discovered in her travels, she decided she wanted to be closer to the world of handmade items, and to help grow the market for handcrafted designs. Arcadia Home was born. The company has continued in its passionate promotion of craft and handmade design ever since. Arcadia Home products are designed in Brooklyn, New York, and handcrafted by artisans, mostly in India and Peru. It is the hand of these traditional makers that ensures each Arcadia Home piece is uniquely special, and made to last a lifetime. Our designs are mostly made of hand felted wool, alpaca wool, or hand painted glass. We source sustainably, and our artisans are experts in their craft - creating the heirloom of tomorrow. In our work with these fabulous artisan groups, Arcadia Home is helping to preserve heritage craft and artforms, promote the principles of fair trade business practices, and provide our customers with the value of an eco-friendly and socially-conscious option.
