News - This Independence Day, Celebrate American Made

As we celebrate the spirit of Independence this July 4th, there’s no better time to reflect on supporting small, independent makers—especially women who are boldly building their own creative paths.

At Sarah Bertochi - Handmade, independence is woven into everything we do. Many of the gifts on our shelves come straight from the hands of talented, passionate women who pour their stories into every product. When you shop small, you’re not just buying a thing—you’re supporting a dream.

Here are just a few American-made treasures you’ll find in our shop this July and all year long:

Artisan Candles Made Locally

Crafted by a local woman-owned studio, these clean-burning candles are more than just beautifully scented—they’re statements of intention. Think: quiet mornings, slow evenings, and summertime peace.

Bath & Body from Independent Makers

Our wellness section features bath soaks, salves, and body oils from small-batch producers who use natural, thoughtful ingredients. It’s self-care that supports care—for your body, your community, and the planet.

Hand-Printed Bags with Heart

Our very own line of handbags are hand screen-printed and sewn right here in-house, each with its own name, story, and one-of-a-kind style.

These are functional works of art for anyone who values craftsmanship and individuality.

Why It Matters

Choosing handmade, local, and women-owned IS powerful. It’s a way to celebrate the freedom to create, to build something from scratch, and to lift each other up in the process.

So this Independence Day, whether you’re heading to a picnic, a backyard BBQ, or just soaking up the long weekend—stop by and grab something heartfelt and handmade.
