Authentic Hand Embroidery & Indian Textiles: Empowering Women Artisans

Welcome to the start of a revolution where every handcrafted piece holds the power of a woman's economic independence. Welcome to Suryanagri Craft, where every thread tells a story of heritage and empowerment. We are the heart where India’s ancient textile artistry—from intricate hand embroidery to classic Kantha and appliqué—meets modern, enduring design.

Suryangari Craft is dedicated to this mission: empowering over 1,000 skilled rural women by providing sustainable employment, professional training, and the infrastructure needed to turn their generational techniques into stunning, high-quality pieces for your wardrobe, home, and living. We invite you to be part of the change.

The Challenge: Potential Restricted, Income Unstable

The greatest artistry often goes unrecognized. The core challenge lay in realizing that immense creative potential was being lost in rural India. Despite women possessing profound, inherited expertise in traditional craft—including intricate hand embroidery, Kantha, and appliqué—two major barriers stifled their growth: a lack of market awareness and restrictive societal norms. Many women were skilled but critically unaware of the economic power held within their traditional textiles. Compounding this, historical lack of formal education made grasping finance and entrepreneurship difficult, ensuring their income stream remained unstable or non-existent. For decades, cultural customs limited ambition. The question was deep: how to honor their craft while overcoming systemic disadvantage to achieve true economic empowerment?

Our Mission: Igniting the Spark of Economic Independence

Our initiative began in 2020 with a handshake and a promise.We started with the belief that changing these norms required focused action right where the women lived. We launched targeted workshops in rural areas, offering a safe space to explore professional craft production. We quickly addressed the practical barriers: Take Saraswati, who used her income to fund her children's education, and Pooja, who overcame a lack of mobility to become our lead designer for handcrafted bags. Their early successes, driven by reliable income generation, became our most powerful voice. Word spread like wildfire: women, witnessing tangible self-reliance in the lives of their peers, flocked to join. This organic growth transformed our initial workshops into a thriving community, built entirely on the shared legacy of artisan empowerment and high-quality artisan-made products.

The Commitment: Building Futures Through Structured Training

Our commitment is unwavering: turning skill into financial freedom. We ensure the self-dependent entrepreneur model works by providing a highly structured support system, which includes comprehensive on-the-job training, detailed modular video education, and mentorship focusing on quality control, design, and financial literacy—areas previously inaccessible due to lack of education. Furthermore, we provide access to high-quality machinery and infrastructure that complements the hand skills, enabling the creation of beautiful, durable handcrafted products with consistent quality. These tailored programs unlock not just skill potential but professional confidence. We are proud to partner with this community to create ethical handicrafts—unique women's wear and home and living products—for a global market. Our goal is to continue growing together, ensuring that our sustainable livelihoods model continues to break down traditional barriers and create a lasting legacy of women empowerment for generations to come.

Beyond the Product: A Partnership of Skill and Purpose

"Our mission goes beyond creating beautiful things; it is to ensure every piece we design empowers the talented hands that craft it. By honoring their skill and collaborating closely, we are building a more sustainable and equitable future for artisanal craftsmanship. This commitment to mutual respect and passion guarantees not only unparalleled quality but also a lasting connection between the maker, the designer, and the owner. We believe true luxury lies in conscious creation, where every material is responsibly sourced and every artisan receives fair recognition and reward. This shared journey transforms a product into a legacy, carrying forward the story of integrity and art for generations to come."
