KARACHI, July 31: To give back to the community, The Crafter’s Guild, Esnaf and Firefly invited enthusiasts and hobbyists alike to support local business and uplift the craft community.
This summer, to celebrate Made in Pakistan, the much awaited Indie Art and Craft Show returned after a two year break on 24th July. With overcast skies and a roaring rain storm, individuals still flocked from far and wide to support the event.
Countless enterprises impacted by circumstances post COVID bounced back to present their best foot forward in representing handmade crafts, art and designed based merchandise, all locally made.
The one day event had over 90 exhibiting brands, each incredibly passionate and determined in a vast range of categories. The products on display included but are not restricted to traditional handicrafts, home décor, calligraphy and paintings, natural skincare, artisan foods, jewelry and accessories, apparel, stationery and bespoke gifts.
Visitors had an opportunity to connect with the hands behind handmade, learn of stories behind the makers, and explore collaborative potential. Participants spent three months preparing for the event and had also received training to help overcome business woes. -SABAH
