Craftpotli

Craftpotli Craftpotli brings you the Rural India untravelled, inexperienced. From curated products to bespoke raw rural travel experiences.

It transports you to beautiful villages holding immense heritage & culture. I wonder what came first, the passion for everything handmade since i started to appreciate things strewn around our home, or my observations during umpteen trips to rural areas or monotony in our lives, d idea was born last year. It was only 2-3 months back, which made me seriously ponder that this is where my heart is.

Craftpotli, is everything im, its like that bundle which probably our grandparents, elders always kept, popping with surprises, sometimes a doll, sometimes a little book, a lace or sweetmeats! Craftpotli shall aim to become the most vibrant wiki sorts on crafts or anything handmade in India. It shall be its passion, mission and vision to bring the tiniest components out of craftgoldmine which exists in India like a story you ought to remember from your childhood. Craftpotli shall exist to create a dialogue between our crafts, craftsmen and the end consumers and give you all what you would ever wish to know about the rich crafts of our country. The potli shall keep changing its own tongue, shall deal with its own weather conditions, dress up in distinct attires and produces indigenous art-works you are most unlikely to find anywhere else. It shall bring you close to crafts, some of which could be completely unheard of by you, or the veteran you consult to deck your existence in the fineries of Indian indigenous produce. Rest assured, the stories which shall come out of this potli shall be as authentic as they can be. In order to make these experiences available offline, we are also going to curate travel diaries, where the connoisseur comes in direct touch with the craftsman and his craft.

Please don’t celebrate EARTH DAY 🙏🏾

Since morning seeing posters of “Happy Earth Day”, school kids made to wear white Tshirt’s with a plant printed by synthetic inks , corporates printing flex and displaying at multiple places.

We have made a mockery of this Earth and on top we celebrate it too ! So here are 5 TOP REASONS YOU SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE EARTH DAY

Here are 5 ironies of Earth Day:

🌎Consumerism: Earth Day often gets caught up in a cycle of buying new sustainable products, which can have its own environmental impact. Nowadays aesthetic packaging is a new load on Earth.

🌎 Travel: Many Earth Day events require travel, which can contribute to pollution. Employees travelling for meet ups , schools organising visits and so on .

🌎 E-waste: The increased focus on electronics for environmental awareness campaigns creates more e-waste, which can be toxic if not disposed of properly.

🌎 Fast Fashion: Earth Day t-shirts and other merchandise are often produced using unsustainable practices. Omg we are so done with this .

🌎Digital Footprint: Even online Earth Day campaigns have a carbon footprint from the energy used to power the servers and devices needed to access them. This is including us while posting us .

MINIMISE ,the only word we need to celebrate when it comes to Earth ✨

Planet | sustainable | circular | Earth day | Minimal living | carbon footprint

✨WORLD HERITAGE DAY✨
We live in an INDIA today where everyday we ‘consume’ heritage and everyday we ‘lose’ heritage .

Heritage is not just tangible like the rich monuments, assets , archives. A lot is intangible like languages , many non documented , practices , oral traditions .

It’s said Internet is a powerful tool and equally harmful a weapon is misused, let’s us tell you how this weapon is a two edged sword for us .

We operate from a very sensitive location of southern Odisha , populated by India’s most oldest tribal communities and it’s because of them we are able to bring stories, visuals , tangible memoirs . Even the massive Project is a living heritage using native turmeric of Eastern Ghats and made by Kondha women dwelling in its forests .

However, we also see non inclination of continuation of certain practices, from construction traditional hit systems , to crafts , even the remotest dwelling communities of the world today are sucked into this screen world and decisions are made on what value it holds on screen .

This WORLD HERITAGE DAY and everyday we are reminded of “ जैसी बची है बचा लो यह दुनिया” Do you agree ?

Namaste / Juhar ✨

Let’s bathe in the colours of Holi . When we were kids never understood that the spirit of Holi is to celebrate victory of positivity over negative . The Holika Dahan was a mere book incident and we grew up seeing wild violent holis almost , where we would use water , cheap colours even polish , chemicals .

Holi is one seeped so beautifully in our traditions as a mark to celebrate positivity with a palette of colours . Whether it’s the bright orange red of “Kanji” ( fermented drink ) , the brown shades of spicy Papdi, the crispy flaky Gujiyas and more than that feeling of community .

This Holi and many ahead may bring sensitivity , mindfulness for resources and purpose to connect with communities around us .

Featured here our GANJAM BAMBOO BASKETS , bathed in bright colors they are made for various household purposes , mainly to store grains / flowers . Our collaboration with is iconic as we will share more images of their 2024 HOLI HAMPERS with these handmade colourful baskets .
