Accumulated traditions, manual skills, and creative intelligence—all these qualities converge and blend in the products of traditional industries.

Traditional products that have been influenced by cultural values and constant civilizational additions, whether functional or decorative, traditional or contemporary, have a significant presence in daily life.

Reviewing and updating the materials, techniques, and forms of traditional products have been an ongoing effort by innovative artisans. This is to ensure that traditional industries maintain their position in interior design, decoration, furnishings, and household complements.

The heritage innovations inspired by new visions are nothing but an expression of the material culture of Tunisians. They represent an important and extended part that aligns with the new needs of heritage.

Tunisian traditional industries have managed to navigate their way between tradition and modernity, advancing their progress through state support in terms of preservation, renewal, and development of an industry that is rich in creativity and innovation.

The traditional industries sector provides 300 direct job opportunities and contributes 4% to the gross domestic product, with annual exports from the sector valued at 380 million dinars.

The activities of small crafts and traditional industries are regulated by Law No. 3078 of 2005, dated November 29, 2005, which lists the activities of small crafts and traditional industries.
