How it all began...

In the heart of Philadelphia, PA, Carina Brandt transformed her one-bedroom apartment into a vibrant space bursting with creativity and craftsmanship that would become the start of The Rustic Cow Crafts. What began as a simple outlet for her artistic talents—talents she felt were stifled by her conventional job—has blossomed into a flourishing business that reflects her deep passion for art.

​

Carina’s unwavering commitment to her craft has fueled the remarkable growth of her business over the years. Her journey took a significant turn when she made the decision to relocate to New Jersey, where she found a larger, more inspiring space to set up her dedicated studio. This new environment, filled with natural light and room to explore her ideas, has become a sanctuary for creativity, allowing her to push the boundaries of her skills and imagination.

​

Each year, Carina embraces the challenge of mastering a new craft, diving into diverse disciplines such as knitting, candle making, and paper crafts. This continuous learning not only enriches her own creative repertoire but also captivates her customers with an ever-evolving collection of unique and handcrafted items.

​

Looking towards the future, Carina harbors an ambitious vision for her brand, The Rustic Cow Crafts. She dreams of establishing a physical storefront that not only showcases her exquisite, handcrafted pieces but also serves as a vibrant hub for local artists. In this space, they can display and sell their work, creating a tapestry of creativity within the community. Through this initiative, Carina aspires to foster a supportive and collaborative environment that celebrates the diverse talents of local artists and cultivates a passionate creative community.
