We are from the beautiful city of Kolkata in West Bengal, which is often called the ‘City of Joy.’ We love Indian arts and crafts, especially from Bengal. In fact, friends and family would ask us to design for them, so we thought it was a good idea to start a design studio and that’s how we started our little venture in 2014. It’s been a lovely experience so far. We have five artisans who works full time in our workshop – these artisans mainly work on handbags. We also have about three or four weavers from a local village who weave scarves and stoles for us. Srabonti was introduced to art at an early age through her mother, who designed and stitched beautiful garments for herself and her daughter and got her interested in the craft. Rajnandinee is a self-taught artisan who is inspired by her surroundings, nature and traditional craft. Like any other venture, we’ve had difficult moments, but because we are both craft lovers, we motivate each other during the rough patches.
