In India the second half of the year is more eventful with festivals and weddings. And, gifting is something that brings us immense joy to any such occasion.
If you have been reading my blog, then you must be aware that lately I am quite obsessed with sustainable handmade products. While more online stores provide avenues to support our nation's handicraft industry and kaarigars, I have turned into a busy shopper.
I stumbled on one such platform, iTokri. It's desi name caught my interest. Well, they not only have a quirky name, but a good selection of handicraft products. iTokri is a space to celebrate collective creativity.
iTokri has a vivid and elaborate collection, that it almost felt like entering into a local flea market. It has everything from fabric to jewelry, Home & Kitchen, art works, stationeries and accessories. Their tag line ‘Ekdum Fresh’ is very suitable as their collections are colorful, creative and they also update their stocks regularly.
Few Home products were appealing to me but then, I decided to treat me with a handbag. They have a wide options to pick for your needs. There are bags made of Jute/Cotton with hand embroidery, Zari Work, Grass Hand woven and much more.
Sitalpati Grass Handwoven Sling Bags appealed to me for it was interestingly old fashioned, edgy and eco friendly. This particular bag was skillfully interlaced into beautiful patterns by the village artisans and accessorised with genuine leather to give a contemporary look.I wore this during my Eid, and it was an instant hit among my cousins and friends.
Face masks have become an inevitable accessory nowadays for both kids and adults. So don't miss to surf this section.
Rakhi Collection 2021 is also something that you would want to check out, with the approaching festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. They have a good collection of handmade Rakhi to pique your interest.
Also, I received a nice handwritten note along with a pretty earring as a compliment to my order. It was indeed a thoughtful gesture. With affordable price range and variety of options to choose from, check iTokri products if you are a handicraft lover like me. It is definitely worth buying.
