Ce Fain! x Fabricat în RO — A Partnership Putting Romanian Design on the Global Stage

At Ce Fain!, we believe that Romanian craftsmanship deserves a spotlight beyond its borders. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Fabricat în RO, a platform that shares our vision of celebrating local creators and connecting them with the world.

This collaboration will debut at Romanian Weekend at the Wharf — one of the most prominent Romanian cultural festivals in the U.S. Held in Washington, D.C., this annual celebration brings together over 3,000 visitors daily for three days of food, music, art, and community. Ce Fain! will be there in person with a curated showcase of high-end Romanian-made products — from textiles to home décor to fashion accessories — representing the very best of modern heritage.

But this event is just the beginning.

Fabricat în RO will play a critical virtual role, using its established platform and community to promote Romanian design from afar. Through interviews, featured maker spotlights, and co-branded digital campaigns, they will help elevate the voices of Romanian artisans who may not be able to attend but whose work deserves to be seen.

This partnership is grounded in values we both share:

• A commitment to authentic craftsmanship
• The belief that local stories have global relevance
• A drive to empower Romanian businesses to grow, scale, and thrive

We’re not just attending an event — we’re building a bridge. A bridge between the market stalls in small Romanian towns and the streets of Washington D.C. A bridge between ancient textile techniques and modern luxury aesthetics. A bridge between creators who work with their hands and buyers who value cultural meaning and ethical production.

“We believe in storytelling through design,” says Raluca Feldenkris, founder of Ce Fain!. “Every product we showcase carries a narrative, and partnerships like this help us bring those narratives to life in new, exciting places.”

As part of this launch, we’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes content, introducing select makers from the Fabricat în RO network, and running a joint digital campaign in the lead-up to the Wharf festival. We’ll also feature a special “Partner Spotlight” on Fabricat în RO to showcase their important work with producers across the country.
This is just the start of something bigger.

Together, we’re creating a space for Romanian design to shine — not just as heritage, but as part of the global design conversation.
