IN HAND is a spirited exploration of the intersecting worlds of design, craft and travel; a celebration of people, places and objects. It is back alleys, dirt roads, hidden studios, handmade objects, historic hotels and hard-to-find, family-owned inns, architectural marvels, ruins, frescoes, antique markets, eccentric house museums, the far-flung, the under-appreciated and often overlooked, places you won't read about in magazines. In this new time of traveling less, we must make our travel more meaningful. To us, that means a deep appreciation for the old ways and an openness to new ways of seeing the world. 

In our weekly newsletter, you'll get the kind of travel advice we give our closest friends, from lists jotted on napkins to long-winded love letters about our favorite discoveries. You'll get recommendations, pilgrimages, stories, as well as inspiration from and interviews with creative people who share our interests in beauty, culture, history and craft. You'll hear from artists and aesthetes, designers, traditional craftspeople, and inspiring folks who are as curious and creative as you are. Isn't that who you want informing your travel plans?
