Our Artisans
Palli Crafts means ‘Village Crafts’, meaning that our organization utilizes the skills of artisans residing in village areas around the country. We seek to stabilize the lives of all struggling artisans, regardless of gender, around the country, but one of our crucial missions are empowering women artisans, since the women population are the ones facing mass discrimination and deprivation.
These women from different villages seek better lives, add their own handmade touch to the various products we offer, and with our producer groups, help to make them even more valuable to enrich your lifestyle. Keeping that in mind, we are providing them with adequate training, fair wage, and a comfortable working environment. We are emphasizing to empower more women through advocacy on decision making roles. living safe, fulfilled and productive lives to achieve their full potential, contributing their skills to the workforce and can raise happier and healthier children.
Materials & Techniques
Our own production centers, home based artisans and individual producer groups altogether contribute to the vast group of products we produce. Textile products and non-textile products include various sectors such as Home Décor, Lifestyle Fashion and Home Accessories. To make these products into what you love, we tend to use a collection of traditional techniques. For example, block and screen printing is used for home décor products, while embroidery and weaving are used as a profound metaphor of handicrafts. Other techniques include shibori, which is a tie-dyeing technique, macrame, which is an art involving knotting strings and several other hand techniques for pottery and wood. Since we aim to sustainably do business causing minimum, if any, form of harm, our team uses dyes and colours which are natural and AZO free dyes. Through this, both the environment and our people stay healthy and safe. To make these products readily available, the artisans and our team try to achieve the best results by using these techniques that have been passed on generations after generations and still hold the same value and meaning as several years ago.
