Kraaftee

“A glass pitcher, a wicker basket, a tunic of coarse cotton cloth. Their beauty is inseparable from their function. Handicrafts belong to a world existing before the separation of the useful and the beautiful.” - Octavio Paz, Mexican Poet, writer, and diplomat.

Under the quiet, unassuming straw-thatched canopies at the abode of peace - Shantiniketan that dawdles in the fertile lands ofBengal-the cradle of a galaxy of decorated freedom fighters, philosophers, writers, and poets of the country, thrives a world of exceptional craftsmanship wherein craftsmen sweat out their strength, intellect and heart to create some of the most beautiful products that you will ever use.

Kraaftee is an experience of emotions that your mother nurtured while knitting your first sweater, of joy that your sister was overwhelmed with when she handcrafted your first rakhee, of pride that your brother beamed with while chiselling your first bat, of collywobbles that your best friend had a hard time hiding, as she filled colors in your first friendship-day card, and beyond all, Kraaftee is the experience of ecstasy that each such expression of love invariably brought onto you.

We bring back to you a life on which you have allowed the dust of time to settle. Spawned with threads of love, art, and the spirit of workmanship, Kraaftee gives you the best of indigenous handicraft works of India and at the same time, wings to the efficacious pairs of hands of our industrious craftsmen!
