Make It Slow, Make It Matter:

INDIA'S HANDMADE PRESENCE FOR THE WORLD

Have you ever wondered why you feel so good when you buy a handmade product. The energy being humane made by hands and that which goes back to earth.

If you started wearing clothes and bought goods that mattered you would use it wisely, consciously and with love and respect.

How much respect do we have for fast fashion clothes we buy in malls and at retail outlets.

In a sunlit workshop, a skilled artisan decorates a clay pot with intricate designs, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of traditional pottery.

A feeling of a handmade candle burning on your table or at the altar, the handmade book you purchased at the local fair or artisan shop, the stole you wear around your neck that catties handstitched engraves or prints that were made through hands and tools, that shoe with that feel and design, the chair handcrafted by that artisanal carpenter, the lamp that carries skill and nostalgia of a tradition, the sheets on your skin, the soaps and the scrubbers, the mats and the curtains, the rugs and the vases, an artisan gifts an entire lifestyle of conscious living for all.
