Hi, I’m Elena, and I run Crafter, a Cumbria-based business that specializes in dreadlocks, education, and bohemian accessories from around the world, like handmade jewelry, bags, clothing, and home decor.
The Journey
I find inspiration in craft-making, colors, and patterns from my travels. The bright streets of Morocco, ancient Thai traditions, Balinese beauty, Turkish kilims, and Indian colors inspire me.
The Shop
In my shop, you’ll find unique bohemian treasures. I offer bohemian clothing, handmade wooden, brass and silver jewellery, macrame plant hangers, wall hangers, swing chairs, hand-carved candle holders, hand-painted ceramics, tobacco pouches, rattan bags and pillows for the bohemian soul.
Don’t miss my dreadlock accessories! If you come for dreadlock installation or maintenance, you’ll see dreadlock hats, organic shampoos, soap bars, spiral locks, crochet hooks, hair wraps and dreadlock beads.
All of these items can also be purchased on my online shop and delivered to your doorstep.
Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks are my specialty! I create natural dreadlocks in the cleanest way using backcombing, palm rolling, and crochet needle techniques, with no waxes or chemicals. If you have questions, I’m here here to help.
Courses
Join me to learn how to make dreadlocks. I’ve created a course for you. You will learn about dreadlocks and their culture. You’ll discover how to make, maintain, style, and decorate dreadlocks. The course also covers branding and marketing to help you start your own dreadlock business.

CrafterElena’s pledge is to discover and deliver unique bohemian accessories from all over the world
