About Indian Metal Craft, Upcycled Sari and Artisans

The Indian Handicraft industry provides livelihood to many artisans. Amongst the wide range of handicrafts, metalwork is one of the popular crafts in India. Some popular techniques can be traced back 5,000 years to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro in the Indus Valley Civilization.

Artisans mainly use metals like brass, copper, bronze, iron, and silver which are durable and lend themselves well to delicate designs and patterns. 

The traditional methods of sand casting & lost wax (locally known as Dhokra) methods are mostly employed in this field. Techniques like engraving, carving, enamelled, etched or soldering with other metal pieces to create vividly designed beautiful metal objects.

Sari is a traditional Indian garment for women which has been worn for generations. Upcycled designs like this product resonate well with sustainability and resourcefulness within local communities while providing for a vibrant combination which is truly one of a kind.
