From Craft to Keepsake: The Story Behind Every Duffy & Porter Gift

From Craft to Keepsake: The Story Behind Every Duffy & Porter Gift

Every piece we make at Duffy & Porter carries a story – not just yours, but ours too. Behind each handcrafted box, ornament, and home décor piece is a journey of passion, skill, and a deep belief that gifts should mean something.

1. Our Beginning
We started in 2016 as Craft Shapes Ireland, creating bespoke wooden pieces from our workshop. In 2022, we rebranded as Duffy & Porter to reflect our growth, our design focus, and our commitment to quality craftsmanship.

2. The Making Process
Each piece begins as raw timber, carefully selected for strength and beauty. We cut, sand, and finish every item by hand, ensuring it’s smooth, durable, and ready to last for years. The personalisation – whether engraving a name, a date, or a special message – is where each product becomes truly one-of-a-kind.

3. Sustainability Matters
We believe in creating gifts that won’t end up in landfill. Our materials are responsibly sourced, and our designs are made to last. A Duffy & Porter piece isn’t disposable – it’s an heirloom.

4. Your Story Meets Ours
The moment one of our products leaves the workshop, it becomes part of your story – whether it’s a Christmas Eve tradition, a wedding gift, or a keepsake for a new baby.


For us, it’s never just about the product. It’s about the memories it helps create and the love it represents.
