About The Market Experience
Forget browsing anonymous aisles in a big store. At our markets, every piece comes with a story told by the person who made it. When you visit our events at venues like Forum South or Freedom Park, you are not just shopping, you are meeting the weaver, the potter, or the painter who spent days creating that specific item. It is a direct connection that ensures the person behind the product gets the credit and the livelihood they deserve.
Our markets are more than retail events. They are community gatherings designed to bring the traditional 'haath ka kaam' (work of the hands) back into our daily lives. Whether you are hunting for authentic Jamdani sarees, ikat fabrics, tribal art, or just looking to spend a relaxed weekend with family, our spaces offer a vibrant alternative to mainstream malls.
We host these gatherings in accessible city landmarks like Jayamahal Palace and Forum South Bengaluru. Each event features over 100 authenticated artisan groups. You can interact with national awardees, learn about their generational techniques, and even get your hands dirty at our live workshops. From pottery and painting to kite-making, our sessions are open to everyone, regardless of age or experience.
Why do we do this? Because we believe that true luxury is handmade. By cutting out the middleman, we ensure that your purchase directly supports the karigar’s livelihood. Come by for the music, stay for the craft, and leave with something that has a soul.
A Hundred Hands
We are Mala and Sonia, and we started this in our garden because we wanted to give artisans a voice, not just a place to sell. We are tiny, a bit nerdy, and deeply picky about the quality we bring to you. We are not selling products; we are sharing stories woven by the hands of makers.
