Hands of India, started in 2010, works with
weavers and hand-embroidery groups from all over India to create contemporary
women's apparels and home furnishings. The idea behind HOI was to start an
enterprise which provides employment to people in villages and small towns,
focusing on handlooms and hand-embroidery. HOI is deeply committed towards
preserving the rich textile and handcrafting traditions of the country, while
giving more importance to the Artisan than the Art.
HOI now works with 50 artisan groups across
the country totaling 1500 artisans, employs about 80 people in its stitching
and marketing department based out of Vrindaban, Uttar Pradesh, and retails
online through its own website www.handsofindia.com .
