When we collaborate, we don't just sell products; we create reliable income streams for our artisan owners and bring traditional skills like Soof and Pakka embroidery to a wider, global stage. ### Beyond the Workshop Our collaborative work is how we bridge the gap between rural artisan clusters and the wider world. It is about more than just distribution; it is about proof that traditional Indian crafts like hand-weaving, natural dyeing, and intricate embroidery have a place in the modern home. ### Notable Partnerships & Events - **IKEA x Rangsutra:** For over a decade, we have partnered with IKEA to create collections like MÄVINN. This has provided consistent work for hundreds of women artisans, offering them financial independence and a way to build skills while staying in their home villages. - **Urmul Rangsutra Mela:** Hosted in spaces like Triveni Kala Sangam, these melas are a direct connection between you and the makers. We bring the desert to the city, showcasing products from tie-dye and bamboo work to sheep wool weaving. It is an opportunity to meet the artisans, participate in workshops, and understand the provenance of your purchase. - **Direct Community Impact:** Every collaboration must align with our B Corp values. We ensure fair wages and use sustainable materials, turning waste into wonder with zero-waste initiatives. When you engage with our collaborative work, you are supporting a business model where the artisans are the owners. Whether it is a store opening in Bikaner or a nationwide event, our goal remains the same: to create sustainable livelihoods through the craft we love. ## About Rangsutra Crafts We aren't a factory; we’re a community of over 2,000 women from remote villages who own the brand we work for. Everything you see here—from our collaborations with global names to our local community melas—is about making sure our traditional skills provide a dignified, sustainable life for the women in our collective.
