The Story: Sambalupuri is a term used for the IKATs made in western Orissa. The whole of Western Orissa was undivided and called Sambalpur in earlier times and IKAT being a very well known textile of the region got its name from the region itself.
The sambalpuri fabrics are mostly made in cotton and the uniqueness of the fabric lies in the smooth curves of their motifs owing to the high skill of the Bhulia weavers of the region. The variety of motifs are very diverse ranging from animal motifs like elephant, deer, ducks and lion to floral motifs, the Konark wheel, and the kumbha or temple motif. Manisha Chawda of Neeli Titlee started with an inspiration that she is excited about, followed by a few sketches and layouts which she shares with weavers. Once they are ready with the tie-dye and warping of the loom, I visit them and sit with them to shape up the new samples. Sitting on the loom and taking hands on decisions is the part I love the most. The team doesn't change the concept but plays around within the constraints of what is in hand to come up with interesting ideas and variations. Once these original samples are ready, the weavers are on their own replicating the samples. She likes this teamwork where the designer and the craftsman work hand in hand to create something so beautiful.

A society from which beauty is removed becomes brutalized. The human craving for beauty has resulted in amazing forms of aesthetic creativity like architecture, gardens, performing arts, cuisines, sacred rituals, art and crafts. Over centuries, nothing has been able to suppress this urge to create beauty. Crafts are an integral part of this experiential creativity and the conduit for the imagination of forms. It is an extension of the human mind given life through the hand – which results in a physical, scientific, intellectual, emotional, meditative and sacred creation, usually born out of local culture, environment, lifestyle and materials. Craft is utility, decoration, ornamentation, meditation and aesthetics all rolled into one. The human quality of handwork beckons the discerning and sophisticated user of craft products who, by supporting handwork, celebrates its creator and the abstract quality of creativity to adorn, decorate, and use in daily life. CRAFTISAN® celebrates and promotes this philosophy of handwork. You have arrived at an authentic curated art and craft collective inspired by the elegant and diverse Indian ethos. We feature handcrafted creations by artisans, master craftspersons, craft clusters, Self Help Groups, NGOs, and designers across India.
