Kashmiri Handicrafts have been a global love. The magnificent Kashmiri carpets are from the finest hand woven silken carpets in the world. Similarly, the delicate and comfy Pashmina shawls have added grace to the personality of every lover of art since centuries. Handicrafts of Kashmir are known for their intricate styles and delicate artwork.
The art of manufacturing these designer silken carpets, warm pashminas with precise hand embroidery, subtle paper mache, and crafty wooden home decor was introduced in Kashmir by Shah-e-Hamdan. He came to Kashmir all the way from Persia and introduced the art. Soon local craftsmen started producing these handicrafts and mastered these crafts. Handicraft and Kashmir have been synonymous ever since.
As artisans in Kashmir came in contact with the outer world, the art began to be known the world over as a mark of luxury and fineness. As the world evolved to becoming a global village through the use of technology, the artisans failed to keep up pace. They lost their most valued patrons, their customers who loved the art and encouraged these crafts people to produce enticing people.
Why buy Handicrafts of Kashmir from us?
Due to long supply chains and lack of Marketing expertise Kashmiri artisans are not able to earn enough to meet their needs. The long distribution chains add layers of agents add up the costs that make the products expensive, and the artisans in turn are forced to sell their art at a cheaper price. The earnings of the manufacturers of these handicrafts have been reducing. This slowly is leading to the extinction of the Kashmiri Handicrafts Industry. But as every lover of art, we at Kashmirica believe that this art doesn’t deserve an early death.
