Family Tradition, Modern Craftsmanship
Founded in 2018, KATMAR is a family-owned creative studio built by mother and daughter team Marianne Barr and Katherine Quick — the “MAR” and “KAT” behind the name. What began as a shared love of crafting has grown into a celebration of handmade goods rooted in family tradition. Every item is a reflection of the skill and creativity passed from one generation to the next.
Our Story
At KATMAR, crafting is more than a hobby — it’s a heritage. Marianne first introduced Katherine to the art of sewing and crochet as a child, and that early spark inspired a lifelong passion for knitting, crochet, and handmade design. Today, the two work side by side, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern artistry to create pieces that are as beautiful as they are meaningful.
Based in sunny Florida and shipping nationwide, KATMAR brings the warmth of handmade artistry to customers across the country. Each product is carefully designed, made by hand, and finished with the kind of personal touch that only true makers can offer.
What We Make
Every KATMAR piece begins with a vision and a handful of thread, yarn, or fabric — transformed by patience, skill, and imagination.
Our handcrafted goods include:
-
Cozy crochet items and knitted creations
-
Sewn accessories and home décor pieces
-
Custom handmade gifts made to order
-
Limited-edition seasonal items
- Our biggest seller, custom Keepsake and Memory Bears
Each creation is made with care, quality, and attention to detail — the way handmade should be.
Our Philosophy
At KATMAR, we believe that handmade goods tell stories — stories of love, tradition, and creativity. Each loop, stitch, and seam carries a piece of who we are as makers and as family. Our mission is simple: to make things that people fall in love with, one handcrafted piece at a time.
When you support KATMAR, you’re supporting a small family business that honors the craft, cherishes creativity, and continues a proud tradition of handmade artistry.
Thank You for Supporting Handmade
We’re grateful to share our craft with you. Whether you’re shopping for a cozy new accessory, a thoughtful gift, or a custom creation, we hope you find something that feels truly special — made just for you, by KATMAR.
