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. ## About Macrame Karigari Hi, I am Simi! I juggle a 9-5 and this passion project, alongside my mom and our 15-strong team of women artisans. We live for the knots and stitches, pouring our late-night hustle into every custom piece we make for your home.
