Every item in the shop is handmade, made with love and affection!
We moved to Jaipur, Rajasthan - known for its traditional, colorful art.
I, Stuti Narnolia has grown in Jaipur, Rajasthan which is also called pink city of India. The buildings here are made with pink-painted sandstone which brings it the name of Pink City. I went for studies in Jaipur. I was there for engineering education. But the beauty of handmade art and architecture of Jaipur always attracted me.
This city has richness of culture, handmade art and handicrafts. I was always fascinated by Art and crafts of Jaipur. I read about its heritage culture, tradition and art. Also Jaipur has markets flooded with handicraft items. I used to spend hours in market just to see them and their beauty. They undoubtedly catch my eye. Now I wanted to know more and more about these masterpieces. I was not able to resist myself.
I started my search for skilled artists and craftsmen who make these unique stuffs. I went to villages and outskirt of Jaipur to see how things are made. I was surprised by their skill, caliber, hard work and patience. Their talent must be God’s magic. These craftsmen have churned the art from their ancestor which has been passed from generations. Now it was the time I wanted to learn these arts. I learnt the art of hand screen printing, block printing, embroidery like kantha, mirror, suzani, tie dye and many others in my spare time and weekends.
As life move on, so I did my wedding. After wedding, I settled in Gurgaon. After sometime, I and my husband realize that I shall go further with my passion for art. He sent me Jaipur again to complete my learning. I started making home decor stuffs like wall hanging, pillows, etc. I always try to put my creativity and new ideas to the work. People were dazzled by the variety and vibrancy in the work. Now I started building team. I gave training to less privileged ones. My work do not only gives me immense pleasure but also huge satisfaction as my work encouraged the poor artisan who can run their livelihood and contribute Indian art in expanding globally.
