About Our Partners & Collaborations
When we team up with partners like Forum Malls or visionaries like Prasad Bidapa, it is about more than just finding a venue. We create platforms that place our traditional artisans directly in the spotlight, moving handmade work from the sidelines into high-traffic spaces where their craft is seen, understood, and appreciated by a wider audience.
Our approach to collaboration is simple: we want to bridge the gap between rural master weavers and the modern consumer. Whether it is a large-scale fashion showcase featuring Eri Silk, or an engaging personal styling session with experts like Shiny Pillai at our markets, every partnership serves a purpose.
Why We Collaborate
We do not just look for spaces to sell goods. We look for partners who share our respect for 'haath ka kaam' (work of the hands). These collaborations allow us to:
- Mainstream Traditional Crafts: By taking our exhibitions to places like Forum Malls, we introduce thousands of people to the beauty of handloom, Ikat, and natural dyes, far beyond the niche craft circuit.
- Elevate the Artisan's Voice: When we work with fashion designers to create ensembles from traditional textiles, we show how ancient weaving techniques fit perfectly into contemporary wardrobes.
- Provide Added Value: We bring in experts, like certified image consultants, to help visitors understand how to style and wear the handmade pieces they buy. It is about making traditional crafts accessible and wearable for everyone.
We are always looking for partners who want to support this movement. If you represent a venue, a brand, or an organization that values authenticity and wants to help us amplify the stories of India’s artisans, we would love to connect.
