“We examined creative approaches in the post-Covid-19 period to improve market chances and empower these Kutch craftsmen and handlooms who had lost their jobs owing to the epidemic. We give these enterprises with the required support through Kutchi Bazaar and we intend to continue reaching out to more local artists and handicrafts in the Kutch region to assist them in reaping the benefits of e-commerce in future”, said Sufiyan Khatri, Co-Founder of Kutchi Bazaar and Master of Ajrakh Hand Block printing.
Kutchi Bazaar offers a wide range of beautiful, timeless handmade items. The scent of Kutchi soil and the passion of artists are imprinted on the textures and patterns of the craft.
The company seeks to deliver the most original and distinctive products to the market, demonstrating Kutchi artists’ outstanding craftsmanship. The firm has the most unique and local craft, which tells fascinating stories and embodies intangible Kutchi tradition. The Covid-19 epidemic has to light the issue at hand, which is a ragged link between aesthetes and artisans.
The majority of rural craftsmen are shut off from the mainstream market, resulting in the loss of a legacy that generates a distinctive representation of cultural value in the form of handicrafts.
