Namastey! Let's get to know each other a bit here. This is a small brief below.
Ekseeka is a group of Muslim women artisans from poorest urban slum communities. 50% of these women are survivors of domestic violence. The Hunar unit is a first step for them towards financial independence. Currently we have a team of 12 artisans engaged in tailoring, embroidery and painting. This craft is a matter of joy and astonishment to all those it reaches to. From Lehengas and Ghaghras, to sarees, salwars and dupattas, to skirts and shirts, to bedcovers and curtains, lampshades and scarves, kerchiefs and wall pieces; adaptation to the world about, has secured it?s survival. A name is a symbol. It represents something. The tiger, oblivious to it?s place and position in the human world, has lent it?s name to this human endeavour, which is not just the palpable final object, but the human spirit that is essentially the tiger?s spirit as well.
Today , like many artisans, even Ekseeka is facing challenges related to sustainability of the art and the community survived by it. It has become necessary to improve ourselves in technology front, hence we have joined hands with Respect Origins, which works to promote heritage arts and crafts. This is our opportunity to reach a customer base that is interested in our products. They have set-up this online store for us and we do not need to promote our products by writing about them or selling them ourselves. They do all the marketing, courier and payment gateways also.
We are happy to take large orders for extra-large sizes or make products especially for you in the designs you prefer. Please use the Commission It or the Bulk Order form or simply contact us here.
