This is the first, most impactful set of visuals a user sees. It's designed to quickly communicate the breadth, quality, and soul of the Varnam Craft Collective.
The Story of Our Craft
Every toy we make is a piece of a 200-year-old history from Channapatna. I want to show you the hands and hearts behind our work, from the artisans who are the soul of Varnam to the very history that shaped this beautiful tradition.
Traditional Board Games, Reimagined
I believe games connect us, not just to each other, but to our past. We've taken timeless Indian and classic board games and given them a playful, handcrafted twist, combining Channapatna woodwork with other beautiful crafts like Lambadi embroidery.
Toys for Learning & Development
Our toys are designed to be more than just playthings; they are tools for growth. These stacking, lacing, and sorting toys help little ones develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and color recognition, all through safe, natural materials.
Whimsical Pull & Push Toys
Remember the simple joy of pulling a toy along on a string? Our collection of pull and push toys brings back that nostalgia with wobbly caterpillars, racing cars, and magical dragons, encouraging imaginative play for your little ones.
Gombes: A Festival of Dolls
For centuries, Channapatna was known for making 'Gombes' or dolls for the Dasara festival. We are reviving this lost tradition with our collection of handcrafted figurines that celebrate India's vibrant culture, perfect for festive displays or as unique home decor.
Quirky & Functional Decor
I love creating objects that are both playful and practical, bringing a touch of whimsy to your everyday life. From animal-themed money banks and pencil holders to unique note clips, these pieces prove that good design can be fun.
Gifts for Little Ones
Finding the perfect gift for a newborn or a toddler is special. Our collection of soft, natural, and safe gifts, including hand-dyed apparel, gentle rattles, and crochet toys, are made by women artisans from different regions of South India.
A Glimpse into Our Homes
Our stores are more than just retail spaces; they are homes that celebrate craft, heritage, and design. I invite you to take a tour of our spaces in Bangalore, Mysore, and Goa, each with its own unique soul and welcoming energy.
Customer Stories & Collaborations
We exist because you walk in, and we thrive because you care. This is a space to celebrate our wonderful customers, friends, and collaborators who share our passion for craft and have become a vital part of the Varnam story.
