Built with purpose. Poured by hands. Sourced with dignity.
Medina Brass was founded on a simple conviction: authentic architectural metalwork should honor the craftspeople who pour it and the homeowners who live with it. We operate as an independent direct bridge between multi-generational sand-casting foundry workshops in Marrakech and design-conscious homes across the world.
Why We Chose to Build Medina Brass
Like many independent makers, our craft began on massive global retail marketplaces. But as our collections grew, we experienced firsthand how monopolistic algorithms treat heirloom craftsmanship like disposable commodities.
Large corporate platforms hold artisan funds for extended periods while small workshops bear 100% of the raw copper and crucible melting costs upfront. Worse still, marketplace policies frequently allow returnless refunds—enabling buyers to keep heavy handcrafted brass fixtures while the artisan bears the total financial loss.
We built Medina Brass to break that cycle. By selling directly through our own independent storefront, we protect our partner foundry artisans, guarantee that every dollar goes directly toward fair wages and pure materials, and pass the savings on to you by cutting out marketplace platform surcharges.
From the Marrakech Foundry to Your Home
Direct Partner Foundries
We don't buy from wholesale brokers. We partner directly with family-run foundry ateliers located in the ancient artisan quarters of the Marrakech Medina.
Pure Binary Metallurgy
Cast from 65% copper and 35% zinc virgin alloy in hand-rammed river silica sand. Zero toxic lead, zero pot metal fillers, and zero synthetic lacquer coats.
Tracked Express Delivery
Orders are hand-checked for architectural tolerance, securely wrapped in protective packaging, and dispatched directly with tracked international express courier.
Our Fair Return & Customer Protection Policy
Because our hardware is handcrafted to order by independent artisans, we operate with transparent standards that protect both you and our makers:
If your piece arrives with a casting defect or transit damage, we will replace it or issue a full refund immediately upon photo verification.
Standard returns are welcomed within 30 days of delivery. Returns must be physically shipped back in original condition to our designated return address.
