About
Where you come from and what you leave behind
Atharna meaning ‘legacy’ or ‘heritage’, was built to protect and preserve the local, artisanal talent of Saudi Arabia.

Support Local
We help craftsmen and women realise a business from their talent and provide a marketplace for them to showcase their work.
Our work aims to keep the Craft Industry alive by supporting the generations of craft and skill coming from our nation. By sharing stories, skills and insights we hope to inspire you to join the Support Local mission.
Three Ways To Support Local
01
Buy Local
There truly is power in your purchase. By being more conscious consumers we can use the force of our buying to support communities and preserve cultural heritage and traditions.

02
Share Stories
Behind every handmade item is a story. The story of the maker, the person who grew the raw materials to make it and the story of your journey to buy it. Sharing these stories helps to keep items alive.
