Consumers are getting conscious of their choices and want to understand the story behind the products that they use. Apart from Alika Crafts making a true impact on the lives of the artisans that they work with, there are other reasons persuading consumers to purchase Leather bags from Alika Crafts.
1.?? ?A gateway to invest in the future of artisan community. There is very little knowledge and understanding of the traditional craft practiced by artisans of India. Each state has its own handwork, technique and style of leather craft which is reflected in the products created by the artisans. In order to increase the appreciation and ensure wider adoption of their trade and talents in India, Alika Crafts wants to increase the visibility and awareness of the leather craftworks made by these artists.
2.?? ?It’s an embodiment of Indian Heritage. The designs of the bag are influenced by the materials available in their region of origin. They offer a variety of bags among which few have block printed Ajrakh and leather as a combination in the design. There are few which are embossed by hands in traditional manner using wooden block while few bags have been hand tooled by the artisans. Each bag has a story to communicate and reflects the culture of its region and has an artistic legacy attached to it. As the designs of the bags are dependent on the availability of materials to artisans and not made in bulk, they are at times limited in edition. The bag designs offered by Alika Crafts will outlive the passing trends and will be investment to cherish for long.
3.?? ?A majority of leather brands/players which sell handcrafted leather goods have priced the products at a premium. This has resulted in these craftworks being adopted by a very niche segment of consumers. Alika Crafts as a platformis doing the best to offer quality handcrafted leather products to consumers at a very competitive price to ensure wider adoption, all the while making certain that a fair price is passed on to the artisans.
At the moment, Alika Crafts is offering Leather bags made by artisans from 5 states of India. They are working to on-board many more artisans from other regions in the coming days. They work with the artisans in understanding their classic design patterns and retain the traditional structure, while making sure that the bag designs are adapted to suite the urban taste too. ? At present, they have taken a conscious call to be available online, with a branded showroom coming soon in the future.?
