What does “Ra-Ro Index” mean?

We call it our mark of uniqueness. It’s how we show how special each piece is: whether it exists in limited quantities, follows an almost forgotten technique, or results from a time-consuming process. The Ra-Ro Index tells you how unique your choice truly is.

The five levels

Uncommon

You’ve heard about it, probably even saw it somewhere. But not everywhere, as this pertains to small businesses and small productions. They are just so exquisite, aren’t they?

Scarce

You won’t find this one around the corner, although there are some local shops and a few active makers. It can be a seasonal product or the type of production that is dependent on material availability.

Rare

It’s not easy finding it, but it’s possible. There are still a few makers and, although there is some risk of this product disappearing, we can guarantee there is a small distribution ongoing.

Very Rare

You may search for it, but you probably won’t find it. Even for us this one was a stretch. Its production is limited or endangered. And by this, we mean that probably there aren’t many makers out there.

Unique

Here’s something we found exclusively for you. It’s one of a kind. This product is on the verge of non-existence for purchase. It’s even possible that there’s no longer an active production.
