Become a Ra-Ro maker

Do you make by hand what almost no one makes anymore?

Ra-Ro exists so that Portugal's last crafts do not disappear. We sell your pieces in seven languages, tell your story and take your work to the people looking for it, in Portugal and abroad.

What Ra-Ro does for you

A shop for the worldThe site is in Portuguese, English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic, and ships outside Portugal.
Your story, toldEvery maker has their own page, with photographs, the craft and the region it comes from.
Found by those who searchWe work on Google search, AI assistants and YouTube so that your pieces show up.
Value, explainedThe Ra-Ro Index shows buyers how rare each piece is, so a fair price makes sense.
Our criteria

Three criteria.No exceptions.

Not every piece makes it into Ra-Ro. Each one is chosen for what it is, who makes it and what it stands for.

Rigorous curation

We select pieces of high cultural value, for the quality of the work and the relevance of the stories they carry, many tied to practices and know-how now at risk.

Real stories

Every object has a traceable origin and is tied to people, places and practices that are still alive, preserving its authenticity as part of our collective memory.

Limited editions

Scarce pieces, made by hand in small quantities, following the pace and needs of each craft.

Who we are looking for

  • Pieces made by hand in Portugal, by you or your workshop.
  • Traditional crafts, rare or at risk of disappearing.
  • Small quantities, made without hurry.
  • A wish to show your work to more people, abroad too.
