Design Flea

Visited the Artisan's Cottage today, was pleased to see the splash of colors & a variety of objects on display. If the city did have a flea market, this is what it would look like. Truly unique & a must visit for all the Amdavadis ...

Artisan’s Cottage was founded by Harita Kapur in September 2011. Harita is a NIFT graduate and has her own design label which was founded in 2004. It was her dream to create a very special store that reflects indian design heritage and to cater to a niche market for contemporary lifestyle products that led to the opening of Artisan’s Cottage.
The store’s objective is to support craft based work from various designers, organizations and artisans from across the country with one mission, to help the craft community.

Nine Lives is an initiative by Rachita Parekh, a graduate from the University of California, Berkeley. Having the experience of running her own lifestyle store in Delhi, when she moved to Ahmedabad she started her own venture with the aim of spreading design by promoting designers from the field of fashion, lifestyle and art and providing them a platform to showcase their work.
She has organized many successful exhibitions in the past, the last one being ‘ Synergy of Opposites’ in association with Gramshree where they achieved tremendous success and raised remarkable funds for the NGO .
