Handed By

What Handed By does

Handed By is a privately held Dutch retail and manufacturing company that produces and supplies handmade woven baskets, bags, and home accessories. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Ijsselstein, the Netherlands, the company operates in the artisanal home goods and accessories category, distributing its products to retail and wholesale customers. The company employs 11–50 people, consistent with a small, craft-oriented manufacturer rather than a mass-market producer.

The company's product offering is built around handcrafted woven items — baskets, bags, and home accessories — that are positioned in the handmade segment of the home goods market. The technical basis is traditional craft production rather than proprietary technology, and the company's website (handedby.com) functions as the primary public-facing channel. No specific technology stack, proprietary features, pricing model, certifications, or distribution partners are disclosed in the available source data, and the website returned only a verification/loading page during data collection.

The business model is wholesale and retail sale of handmade consumer goods, but specific revenue mechanics — pricing tiers, customer segments, channel mix, or contract structures — are not disclosed. There is no funding history, ownership structure, or strategic transaction data available, and the company has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or mergers and acquisitions. Given the limitations of the source data, any deeper analysis of unit economics, customer concentration, or growth dynamics would require alternative data sources.
