A passion for timeless and design led craft inspired Ruth to create First Of March - the luxury online destination connecting the exquisite craftsmanship of Wales with the world. Ruth’s mission is to drive a global celebration of Welsh craft by creating a curated platform showcasing work by new and award winning designers and makers - work connected by timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship - the hallmark of contemporary luxury design.Underpinned by three core Welsh values - Hiraeth, Hwyl and Cynefin - First Of March epitomises the storytelling power of beautiful, contemporary craftsmanship, the passion and pride of master craftsmen to create a unique connection with Wales.Drawing on Ruth’s luxury retail experience, First Of March was designed with simplicity in mind. Purchasing or commissioning work through our platform is easy and straightforward. Whether you are looking for a special gift, a statement piece or something a little different and unexpected in the world of design, First Of March can connect you directly with a unique community of makers - some with Royal and Hollywood connections but all with an understanding and commitment to our values. But First Of March is more than just another online market place - every purchase is an investment in our collective cultural story and the sustainability of the communities in which our makers live. A natural connector, Ruth actively seeks out new connections and collaborations, engaging with people across the world to tell the story of Welsh craftsmanship, the makers and their craft.
