An amalgamation of creativity,arts and aesthetics sum up itokri.com.An online shopping site,iTokri.com is a space that celebrates “collective creations” of artisans across the country;their stories and narratives weaved into their arts, be it handlooms,toys or home decor. For centuries,artisans have been passing on their legacy as handicraft to their next generation and it is shopping sites like these that we get to explore this vibrant world of handloom and handmade products online.It is a store that understands Indian shopping needs while at the same time helps in developing a sustainable model for craftsmen to showcase their products.
itokri.com is a perfect shopping experience for those who love all things Indian and made in India creations reflecting the myriad culture and ethnicity of this diverse land.I love traditional weaves and art and therefore decided to look around what the store had to offer.Well I was surprised to see a lot of products from folk art paintings,home and kitchen wares to clothes and jewellery.You will not find modernity that you see in other online sites here, but a blend of ethnicity with that touch of functionality and appeal in all their products.
The gift..
The Welcome Note with love….
I was happy with the products that I ordered but what touched me most was the warmth and love with which they sent my order.They attached a welcome note along with an itokri “plantable notepad”as a gesture of goodwill and a long relationship .Thank you itokri.com!
Handpainted Kalamkari natural Dyed Cotton Multipurpose Cosmetic Pouch
Handcrafted Quilted Multipurpose Waterproof Toiletry Bag
I bought a toiletry bag and a cosmetic bag from itokri in fabrics which I like very much.There is a range of artistic weaves be it in the form of sarees,stoles or unstitched materials for dresses and traditional attire as well as home furnishings.The ceramic collection is beautiful and will add beauty to your dining table or brighten up your living room in their bright colours.
You also have a choice of kitchen wares and home utilities like brooms and organisers. Toys that we hardly see now a days except in state run museums are available here.They are good to give as gifts.You also have a wide range of products for friends and family and for various occassions be it gift sets for personal use or as memorabilia like hand painted fans or bells and chimes.
I am definitely going back to itokri.com to order the goods that I have kept in my shopping cart.Maybe I will add a few more items.Its good to indulge once in a while especially when you have a store like itokri.com that has so much to offer.
