The Artisan Street

“The Artisan Street aims to provide customers with ‘Dazzling Traditional’ and ‘Handcrafted Essentials’ all in one place. It is a marketplace created for all women artists and artisans to exhibit their handcrafted skill-sets in the form of crafts in traditional, contemporary, and modern, fashion under the Make in India & Vocal for Local Mission.
The venture’s ideology is based on 3 pillars – delighting the customers, embracing Indian ethnic arts and culture, and blending traditional regalia with trends of the modern world. The ultimate vision of the venture is to “Empower the Artisans”.
