Three centuries ago, the native weaver and dyer communities of Rajasthan were drawn across the sands to a village known as Bagru, by the banks of the river Sanjaria, on the outskirts of modern day Jaipur. Soon after, the village began to flourish, and rose enjoy an enviable reputation as the masters of block printing, handicrafts and textiles. Cut to modern times, and the rapid industrialization and advent of textile automation has destroyed Bagru’s traditional handicraft economy, leaving its natives struggling to find sustainable avenues of employment.
Helping Artisans Craft Their Future:
Enabling Hidden Artistry: From professionally training artisans in each aspect of tile making process, providing a sustained source of income, to creating a conducive space to work in, it has been a conscious mission to unravel the innate talent of the local women artisans and workers of Bagru, and make them stakeholders to our collective growth and learning.
Economic Independence: Through a sustained, round the year employment, our artisans and workers are assured of a steady and fair source of income, which means no longer having to struggling to look for short-term wage labour or being seasonally unemployed.
Conducive Working Spaces: Creative minds need creative spaces to run free. A conducive environment charged with positive energy, the Lioness Tiles production facility is an open, spacious and inventive atmosphere where ideas are encouraged, helping the artisans feel at home and give their best.
Social Recognition: With enhanced skills and economic self-reliance comes a confidence that can neither be missed nor shaken. As our tribe of lioness artisans grows, so does their social standing and the respect of their families and village towards them. Through our efforts, we aim to make this prosperity and confidence a ripple effect that spreads to their families, and eventually, the village of Bagru in its entirety.
Connecting Artisans to Customers: Like the inspirational Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie says, it is crucial to open our minds and ears to the stories of others. Each Lioness Tiles Package carries with it a note that introduces you to the name, the radiant face, and the story of the amazing artisan who handcrafted the tiles for you. It is our little way of helping the hands that make, and the hands that appreciate our tiles join in a special embrace.
