About Us

History You Can Hold, Crafted with Heart
Ever held a piece of history in your hands? That’s the feeling we chase. We’re Craple, based out of Roorkee, India, and we’re absolutely obsessed with unique Nautical instruments, fascinating Medieval Armour, and beautiful Handicrafts. Everything here is genuinely handcrafted with real skill – you can feel the difference. We don’t just sell things, we find and share items often made from solid brass, rich wood, and sturdy iron, pieces that tell a story and are truly Made with Love. It’s about bringing a bit of the past, a touch of artistry, into your world.
Our Story
Honestly, getting here wasn’t easy. This whole thing started over ten years ago, just from a love for cool Vintage stuff and old Maritime gear. We tried getting online a few times back then (vintagecraftshub, martforme, vipzox). We had the passion, for sure, but figuring out the whole e-commerce world and finding good people to work with? That was tough.
We hit some roadblocks, learned a LOT, and took breaks. But the dream never really faded. Finally, in 2023, things clicked. We found a fantastic, trustworthy team, learned from our past attempts, and launched Craple.com.
Seeing that first order ship out – all the way to South Africa! – felt incredible. It wasn’t just about the sale, it felt like, ‘Okay, we’re really doing this now!’ That feeling drives us every day to find amazing pieces and make sure you have a great experience getting them.
What We’re All About
So, what kind of cool stuff can you find here? Well, it’s all about unique finds built with care:
- Real Craft, Real Function: Everything you see? It’s handcrafted by artisans with genuine skills passed down through generations. And these aren’t just pretty faces – many of our pieces are fully functional. That telescope? It works beautifully. That compass? It’ll guide you true.
- Quality Materials Matter: We believe in using good stuff. You’ll find gleaming brass, solid wood, tough iron, sometimes aluminum, and clear glass in our products. We love how these materials feel and last. For example, our hourglasses often feature delicate glass bulbs, maybe framed by polished brass pillars on a beautiful wood base – that mix makes them special.
- Treasures for Every Occasion: People use our items in so many ways! They’re perfect as standout decor for your home or office, make truly memorable gifts (think birthdays, anniversaries, festivals!), or just add a touch of unique style to your desk. They feel premium, start conversations, and definitely aren’t the kind of thing you find everywhere.
- Your Vision, Our Craft: Got a specific design idea for a Nautical, Medieval, or other Handicraft piece? Talk to us! We love creating custom orders and bringing unique visions to life using these quality materials.
We work directly with talented artisans here in India. Quality and authenticity? That’s non-negotiable for us. Plus, our customers seem to agree – we’re really proud of our 5-Star Rating on Etsy!
