MBQ [MEȘTESHUKAR ButiQ] is a Bucharest based social enterprise working on revaluing traditional Roma craftsmanship.

We know little of Roma craftsmen and their ancient skills. This cultural heritage can both contribute to changing attitudes towards the Roma and provide an opportunity to help families escape the grinding poverty in which so many of them live. With the support of the ERSTE Foundation Roma Partnership, MBQ [Meşteshukar ButiQ] has revisited many of these traditional crafts and developed updated collections in collaboration with international and local designers. This has been an ongoing journey of almost 5 years, and we are proud to present a collection of handcrafted products, their makers and their stories.
