About us: produced locally
knowing where & by whom our products are made
Our quality products are created in conjunction with specialist mills and associated crafts people across the Netherlands. We can identify the places where each product is made and often who made it, so that you can be confident about the authenticity of your purchases.
We love sharing the stories about the origins of Mill Made’s products, so that you can learn more about their creation.
Wereldwijven Ateliers
From the world to Dordrecht
One of Mill Made’s partners is Wereldwijven Ateliers in Dordrecht
Wereldwijven Ateliers was founded in 2011 with the idea of creating a space where women from all cultural backgrounds who are at risk of being left behind can engage in creative and meaningful activities. It has since grown into one of the largest participation centres in the region.
Its primary goal is to enhance the well-being of participants, improving their quality of life through engagement. Currently, it employs over 80 women from some 27 countries. About one-third of these women are volunteers, and two-thirds work in the workshops as participants through social services.
Sharing stories
As a place of participation, the primary goal of Wereldwijven Ateliers is to increase the well-being of participants.
Wereldwijven Ateliers creates products for its own label, such as decorative pillows, pencil cases, and bags. It also collaborates with companies such as Mill Made by designing custom products.
Rotterdams Handwerk
Some of our range of products made from upcycled and remnant windmill sailcloth is made by the team at Rotterdams Handwerk. A social initiative that creates both marvellous products and worthwhile jobs in our province.
Made locally
Rotterdams Handwerk designs, produces and sells products for companies and private individuals, with a focus on sustainable and local production, as well as on attractive and functional design.
In The Netherlands
Mill Made’s products are proudly designed and made in The Netherlands.
