With the recent introduction of secure credit card payment, using
the E-TIJARA payment server of Tunisian Internet Agency (ATI), the
Swiss owned Tunis based RAKEN Trading is now complete as a
specialized e-tailer for Mediterranean, Arab and African art and
decorations.
In
its extensive RAKEN Style collection of handcrafted decoration
objects, RAKEN now offers more than 250 products in four categories
: "carpets and tapestries", "ceramics and pottery",
"wrought iron and glass", and "other" products (starting
with a set of Tuareg silver jewelry). All these products are
carefully handcrafted in specialized artisan workshops by master
craftsmen and craftswomen, following traditional methods.
A
virtual art gallery, RAKEN Art, features authentic original
paintings by talented artists inspired by Mediterranean, African and
Arabic cultures.
Aside
from its unique high quality products, RAKEN also stands out through
the original design of its web sites, which is performed in-house by
RAKEN Services, who also do the technical conception and dynamic web
programming.
For
entertainment and information, www.raken.com also features a number
of theme sites. Besides information pages on specific issues of
North African cultures, you will find Monster Ridge, a fun site
about monsters, and A Classification of American Wealth, tracing the
history and genealogy of the wealthy families of America from
colonial times until nowadays.
A
major update launched in September 2000 includes many of the new
features that will make RAKEN a favorite in its category. Thus,
RAKEN Style is now set to accommodate special wishes through its
Collectors Corner, where customers can get one-to-one special offers
in their personal web pages on request. A BtoB version oriented
towards specialized shops and interior decorators follows to ease
the ordering process for retailers.
