About Us
Our Story
At the heart of The Artisanry lies a journey of discovery, led by Akshat Johri, an IIT Bombay graduate whose passion for travel unveiled the hidden gems of India's artisanal heritage. Wandering through the diverse landscapes of India, from the vibrant markets of Rajasthan to the serene villages of Bengal, Akshat found himself in awe of the extraordinary craftsmanship of local artisans. These master craftsmen, weaving generations of tradition into their work, inspired a vision: to introduce these exquisite handcrafted treasures into modern homes.
The Artisanry emerged not just as a brand, but as a mission to bridge the gap between traditional artistry and contemporary living. We are dedicated to transforming living spaces with unique, culturally rich decor, each piece narrating its own story of heritage and artisanship. Every handmade product we offer is unique, just like your home, each with its own unique story. Embrace timeless pieces for your home, and let The Artisanry be your guide to a world where every item isn't just a piece of decor but a symbol of uniqueness just like You!

Our Artisans: Our Heros
At The Artisanry, our heart and soul are our artisans, the unsung heroes behind each unique piece. India, our nation rich in craftsmanship, is home to an estimated 7 million registered artisans, a figure that potentially rises to a staggering 200 million when considering unregistered talents. These skilled individuals, often undercompensated, earn an average of merely 2 lakh rupees annually, highlighting the challenges they face in a world where mass-produced items overshadow the allure of handmade artistry.
Our commitment at The Artisanry goes beyond business; it's about uplifting these artisans, ensuring fair compensation, and bringing their stories to the forefront. We particularly focus on empowering women artisans, many of whom run home-based businesses and face additional challenges like limited mobility and the burden of unpaid care work. By choosing The Artisanry, you're not just purchasing decor; you're supporting a legacy, helping preserve India's rich cultural heritage, and making a real difference in the lives of these incredible artisans.
