The first six months transformed us completely - From a new brand trying to promote Indian cotton bags and Khurja pottery, we became a proper parallel brand with the bigger mission of promoting handicrafts.
It makes me proud when I read out our long list of products and the artisans we cater to. And once again, I will grab this opportunity and paste our list here again!
Currently, we are promoting the following :
Papier Mache from Kashmir
Suede bags with hand embroidery from Kashmir
Khurja Pottery from Uttar Pradesh
Wooden chests with ceramic drawers from Sahranpur, UP
Kathputlis from Gujarat
Wall hangings and danglers from Gujarat
Blockprinted bags from Gujarat
Pattchitra from Orissa
Jute Lamps from West Bengal
Jute Bags from Bengal
Dokhra Jewelry from West Bengal
Terracotta jewelry from West Bengal
Leather puppets and hangings from Andhra Pradesh
Lambani Jewelry from Karnataka
Terracotta penstands and vases from Maharashtra
Handmade paper products from Maharashtra
Madhubani Paintings from Bihar
Yes, we actually have this fusion of products, for the sole reason that they are all handicrafts rooted in India. The idea is to not let these special skills die. These in a certain way, represent us, our culture, but unfortunately it is slowly dying. And, we at Fusion Roots believe in preserving these art forms and giving these artisans a platform to showcase their unique talent.
There are a lot of other things hidden in the rural India, and we want to get it all. Next on our wish list is either Bamboo or Cane products from North East India. Also, there are so many things we don't even know about. As we explore our rural areas further, I am hopeful we will find so much more that will be shocking as well as equally beautiful.
If there is any idea that anyone has, please share it with us. Also if there is any particular artist you know, we will love to promote them as well.
