Kaarigar Handicrafts - enriching local artisans’ lives
Artisans- craftspeople that produce art and craft through their hands- create change, feed culture, and make the world a better place. Their art tells their stories. And we make sure those tales are heard. Kaarigar- the artisan- is central to us. Hailing from countries known for their excellence in handcrafted items, whether ayurvedic water vessels or creations in wood, fabric, metal, and stone, we wanted to give back to the community. Now, you can too.
The thought behind Kaarigar
The artisans that put their heart and soul into the creation of wonderful crafts often remain underpaid despite their hard work. These meager earnings in this industry are unfair and a threat to the culture and heritage of the country. After a visit to India, we realized the unfair pricing charged by retailers- and Kaarigar’ was thus born with a mission to change that. After interacting with several artisans across the country- we developed a brief understanding of their needs and wants, and revolved our work around that. Kaarigar was formed to promote the handiwork of Indian artisans globally.
Why choose Kaarigar
With the boom in industrialization, we saw a rise in demand-and craftspeople were unsuccessful in keeping up with corporates that use high-tech equipment and machines, resulting in the loss of their livelihood and professions. To safeguard jobs and bring authentic handmade designs to the people, Kaarigar has created a platform for everyone to discover products ranging from pure copper water bottles and the best Tibetan singing bowls to copper pitchers. These products are made using the highest quality raw materials and techniques passed down by generations of skilled crafters.
