Katha (story behind artefact): At centre-stage and prioritised in this artefact is the woman, her veil surrounding her with colour and her sari lined in intricate detail. The figure of the woman is extremely important to the Madhubani style, as it is traditionally executed only by women who want to invoke productivity and auspiciousness in their spaces. Placed onto a folder that is hand-stitched with silk, the artefact is both a nod to Indian roots and a look to future industriousness. Let this folder be a space for you gather your projects and initiatives into this productivity, spurring you to make your goals a reality.
Riti (method): The hand-stitched silk is executed by artisans with 20+ years of experience, proving to be both elegant in its minimalism and durable in its simplicity. The fabric paired with the supporting cardboard make their artefacts extremely lightweight in usage and long-lasting in their usefulness.
