I have loved CFT since we first met. I find unusual, well made, and beautiful things every time I…read morevisit. For example, the greeting cards are the most charming and funniest that I have ever found. People actually save and enjoy them for years. I bought my dining table there and it was hand made right here in Taos. Try it for yourself.

I bought an expensive (over $3,000) bed set last year and was not happy with the women who rang up…read moremy sale and acted like they were some how giving me a "deal". She was rude. Then the workers who came into my home and put the huge bed together did not do it correctly. I went into the store two different occasions and asked that they come back and fix it.. a year and half year later l have never heard back and I paid a handyman to fix the screw they had completely ruined and left in my bed! I have pictures.

I love a fair trade shop and this one was welcoming and chock full of delightful surprises! The…read morestaff was friendly and welcoming and helped us find various options, as well as had some great suggestions. My purchase of a bracelet made locally was an easy sell as it is beautiful, but there were many other gift items and purchases that I would have liked to make. The prices weren't too bad and each has a story of those who made it, which helps to remind a shopper that their purchase goes toward someone's fair livelihood. Love it! I'd go back and get all my gifts if I had more time, but definitely worthy of a look and a browse.

From outside it looked like a store I could have spent some money at, but after I entered, while…read moremasked up, I was approached by the owner who demanded I apply chemicals to my skin before being welcomed to the store. I refuse to inundate myself with chemicals to passify a business owner living in fear. To respond, I did come in. But I was not made to feel welcome, to even look, because I didn't care to use your chemicals. I had just washed my hands. That should have been enough I feel. "Local" or not, it's chemicals. You tried to force it, I refused, and spent money elsewhere that day. You didn't offer to sign anything accepting any responsibility for adverse effects I might have even . . Main point, You don't get to impose your stuff on my body, and I just hope you'll look at what kind of customer experience I had there and maybe grow from it.

Another cool gem in the Plaza! Everything inside this store is made in NM!

The owner was very sweet and chatted with her for a bit. Definitely a must stop when visiting the Plaza in Taos!

I could rave forever about the service, selection, value... did I mention SERVICE??? If you have…read morenot experienced this company for yourself, please allow this glowing endorsement to change that. I was tasked with ordering 25+ gift baskets for several of my company's top clients, and much to my relief and amazement, was able to pull it off in less than a few hours time. I logged on to www.madeinnewmexico.com and reached out via their online chat & received lightning fast response from Andrea, who handled everything! All I had to do was forward our client list, and she responded within the hour that my order was received and in process! We will ALWAYS turn to this team for all our corporate gift giving and beyond! A+++

The southwest colors here on on point, bring your camera! The cookbooks are mostly southwest feel and they have selected some really high quality ones. Picked one out from a Santa Fe restaurant, Cafe Pasqual's, love the book! The pottery and ceramics have a fun southwest feel! Table clothes and placemats are full of fun bright southwest colors! Side note: The street "Bent" is famous and has a number of fun shops close by! You may want to park close by. **Be warned: The driving in Toas, the roads are tight for the most part in town, and some are one way. The customer service is top notch! I'll be back, without a doubt!

I am writing to update my prior, not-so-positive review of this store. My initial review was mixed:…read moregreat in-store experience, followed by a sub-par encounter when I tried to order additional items by phone, text, and email (I tried all three). As I learned when the owner responded to me, it turns out it was a perfect storm of bad luck (illness) that led to the non-responsiveness. Since that review, not only has the proprietor (Max) reached out, but he also agreed not to charge me until the products were in route. All in all, I regret my earlier intemperate comments, and am now upgrading this store to five stars, to match the outstanding visit we had to the physical store when we visited Taos in October, and the excellent follow-up experience I am now having since Max re-emerged after his illness. (You could tell when I wrote the initial review that I had mixed feelings about leaving it; turns out I should have held off.)

Came for a leather workshop offered by Max (beginners level) and had a great experience working on…read moreveg tanned leather for the first time. Max obviously knows leather well and explained everything from where the store sources their leather, to leatherwork process, to stitching more difficult items like handbags. The store offers various items like vase/kleenex box covers, small totes, notebook covers, belts, etc. Everything is handmade, down to the prints that are pressed into the leather when creating products. Max even took out his kit of metal stamps and showed us how he hand-stamps the surface of the leather, which was awesome. I was also asking a lot of questions and he was able to characterize a lot of his work for me. Really cool experience that I would recommend for everyone!
