About My Handmade Process
When you order from me, you aren't getting something stamped out by a factory machine. Every piece is created by my own hands in my small Gurugram studio. Because I knot everything myself, you might occasionally spot a tiny quirk or slight unevenness in the pattern. I don't see these as flaws; they are proof that your item was crafted with time, patience, and a whole lot of heart.
I started Sutram Handmade because I love the meditative nature of knotting. My workspace is almost always a mix of cotton cords, scraps of fabric, and a steaming cup of chai.
I work primarily with 100% natural, eco-friendly cotton thread. It is gentle on the environment and creates a beautiful, textured finish that synthetic materials just cannot match. When I am starting a new piece—like a wall hanging or a custom tote bag—I often don't have a perfect blueprint. I start with a loose idea, pick up the thread, and let the pattern evolve. Sometimes, that means I spend hours untying and re-knotting until the shape feels just right.
Because I am a one-person business, I pour a lot of myself into every order. This is also why I love custom requests. If you have a specific color combination in mind or a vision for a unique gift hamper, I can actually make it happen. I don't have a warehouse full of inventory, but I do have a studio where I can tailor a design to suit your space or your event. If you need something specific, just message me and we can chat about what is possible.
