Our Story: Handmade with Hustle & Heart
Welcome to the story behind our stitches. From a ₹300 lockdown dream to a team of 15 amazing women, here is how we turn yarn into a little bit of magic.
This is me, Simi, holding a miniature version of myself with our crochet giraffe. This image tells our story, a journey that began during lockdown and has now blossomed into a creative venture celebrating handmade art and supporting women artisans.
Balancing a 9 to 5 job with building a dream is not easy. This video shows the reality of our hustle, from working late at night in a messy living room to facing challenges at exhibitions. It's all powered by passion and the belief in what we are building.
"Busy raho, mast raho!" This is our motto. This reel captures the essence of our daily grind, from my mom and me working on products late into the night to packing orders. It's a life filled with hard work, but also immense joy and purpose.
From a small dream funded with just 300 rupees to a thriving team of 15 women. This video is a tribute to our journey and the incredible sisterhood that powers Macrame Karigari. Every stitch tells a story of hustle and hope.
People say there's too much competition, but I believe in trying. This video shows our humble beginnings in a small corner of a room to where we are today. It's a reminder that with persistence and passion, no dream is too big.
About this collection
When you place a custom order, we need about 24 days to bring it to life. Because we don't use machines, every knot and stitch is hand-crafted by our team of 15 women who are balancing their own lives and passions. It is not a factory line—it is slow, deliberate work, and we appreciate your patience while we make something special just for you.
Our journey didn't start in a studio. It began in a tiny corner of our home during the lockdown, fueled by a ₹300 investment and a lot of grit. Today, that corner has grown into a workspace shared by 15 incredible women, all united by the same 'Busy raho, mast raho' (stay busy, stay happy) spirit.
Why We Take Our Time
We believe handmade art should never be rushed.
- No Machines: Every piece is knotted and stitched by hand.
- Artisan Dedication: We are balancing real lives, 9-5 jobs, and family responsibilities, which makes every piece more meaningful.
- Personal Touch: From selecting the right yarn to embroidery details, our hands touch every part of the process.
We know it is tempting to want things instantly, but quality and soul take time. Whether you are looking for custom wall hangings or personalized crochet toys, we promise it is worth the wait. Every piece that leaves our home carries a story of hustle, heart, and the sisterhood that keeps Macrame Karigari going.
