What is the CCC?
Conservation Through Craftsmanship Coalition is a guild of elite craftsmen that are certified to bear the CCC seal based on their reputation, their business practices, and a set of common principles.
Most people never get to experience a product made where no corner is cut and no expense is spared. This is not because craftsmanship of this caliber is unattainable, but rather that the companies operating in this way are overshadowed by the vast barrage of products designed for mediocrity and disposal.
The alchemy that separates CCC companies from the rest is a common commitment and methodology we call Conservation Through Craftsmanship. This framework can become complex in it’s application, but the premise is quite simple.
Conservation Through Craftsmanship:
When a product or system is created with the best materials and craftsmanship, coupled with design that prioritizes functionality and serviceability, the effect is a proactive conservation of materials, labor, and energy that compounds with time.
The Best, By the Best
“We are creating a legacy of well-made things that we are proud to pass on, because in each is part of who we are and what we believe in.”
– JOE JULIAN
CCC companies are dedicated to the longevity of their products, the training of future generations, and the conservation of the natural resources that make our products possible. This long-term outlook is the antithesis of planned obsolescence and is a conscious choice on the part of our members to prioritize their responsibility as stewards.
As you will experience, the results of these efforts are timeless accessories that will display the patina of a life well lived, and are made to serve not only you, but also your heirs to come.
