About

I’m here for the real makers - the karigars. Too often, their stories get lost behind shop windows and middlemen. At our curated artisan markets, we flip the script. You meet the people who actually make every piece, not just someone selling it. For me, handmade is not just a trend, it’s a legacy.

What You’ll Experience

Our markets are packed with colour, music, and stories. Picture walking through lively tents, bumping into creators from all over India. You’ll find everything from Indian handloom exhibitions (Jamdanis, Ikat, Khadi), to ceramics, rugs, and mixed-metal jewellery. There’s art everywhere - Gond, Bhil, Aipan, plus illustrations and sculptures.

The vibe? Family-friendly, super welcoming. Kids running around, soulful live music, and actual makers sharing how they create. It’s not formal - just come as you are.

Beyond Shopping

We’re about more than just buying. You can join live artisan workshops (pottery, kite-making, painting). There’s always something hands-on, for both grown-ups and kids. Our events are built by a community, for a community.

Where & When

Catch us throughout the year at spots like Freedom Park and Jayamahal Palace. Each market has its own flavour - from our Festival of Handmade to Monsoon Collective. There’s always something new, something real.

My Story

We’re Mala and Sonia—yep, those grey-haired folks you spot in the pics. Years back, we saw rural artisans with mad skills but no buyers. So we just said, 'come use our garden!' Posters, word of mouth, boom—sold out in a day. Cynthia (blue hair), Thyagraj, and Haider joined in, each with their quirks. We’re tiny, picky, and a bit nerdy. For us, it’s about giving soul and story, not just selling stuff.

My Work

Our Collectives & Workshops - We run big events with hands-on sessions like pottery workshop Bangalore, open mics, and lots of community vibes.

Championing Unknown Artisans - We dig deep to find and celebrate genuine karigars—no owning, just spotlighting their craft.

Handmade Treasures - Find everything handmade: sarees, handlooms, jewellery, natural fragrance gifts, quirky decor, and more.

Made It Myself Movement - Share what you make—paint, stitch, sculpt. We love creations powered by your hands and heart.

Keep Calm with Haath ka Kaam - Try our Dot Mandala DIY kit or other hands-on stuff—making things is good for your head, promise.
