CraftVogue Home Decor Review & Discount Code

I was recently given the opportunity to review a product from the Home Decor section of CraftVogue.

CraftVogue’s online store is set up to promote the beautiful handmade goods from the artists and craftsmen living in remote areas of India.  In hopes to preserve the artists traditional craft skills, CraftVogue follows the Fair Trade policy.  Through outlets such as this one, artisans are able to practice their craft while also providing support to their families.

CraftVogue ensures that all items sold in its store are purely handmade and produced by using eco-friendly raw materials like natural dyes, hand-woven fabric, Bamboo, handmade recycled paper, etc. and thus promoting the “SAVE ENVIRONMENT” initiative of our organization to the greatest possible extent.

I would like to touch on a few of the items CraftVogue carries in their Home Goods Section:

Beautiful Wall Hangings like this one called Nature at its Best:

Hand-made Tussar silk wall hanging. The appliqués in this wall hanging portray the fun and frolic which everyone enjoys under the care of Mother Nature who has a gift for all her children. While birds sit on her branches for resting, children enjoy playing under her cool shadow and women cook for their families with the firewood provided by Her. An exclusive product from the interiors of West Bengal. Reflects the craftsmanship and creativity of the Indian rural artisan. (Retails for $69)

The selection of 100% hand made paintings are absolutely stunning!  This Pinguli Lady Painting is one of my favorites:

This first-of-its kind painting is an exclusive presentation of CraftVogue and an attempt to revive this art form. The painting is a portrayal of a group of ladies of the royal clan as they sit and discuss day to day happenings while they enjoy the service of their maids. The border used in these paintings is the unique identity of Pinguli paintings. (Retail $80)

A home goods category would not be complete without a wonderful selection of table linens and placemats.  The Blue Jat Table Runner (Retail $28) and Blue Jat Table Placemats ($60) are my favorite!

A denim finish hand-woven cotton table runner. Exquisite heavy Jat embroidery done on both the ends of the runner and along the borders. The embroidery on both ends is connected by fine stitches. An exclusive product from the desert region of Kutch and is a reflection of the craftsmanship of the rural artisan. To know more about Jat, refer our Crafts page.

A set of 6 hand-woven cotton table mats. Adorned with attractive Jat embroidery and the red piping across the edges furnish the mats with a bright and vibrant look. An exclusive product from the desert region of Kutch. Reflects the craftsmanship and creativity of the rural artisan. Also available in red and black combination.

Next I would like to touch on the hand crafted cushion covers.  The Kantha Silk Cover  ($40) is a set of two silk cushion covers. Heavy Kantha embroidery adorns the cover while the sheen and vibrance of the silk fabric completes the look. An exclusive product from the interiors of West Bengal. Reflects the craftsmanship and creativity of the rural artisan.

Indian kantha is undoubtedly a fine example of rich tradition of handicrafts in rural Bengal. A product that was once made for necessity is now an emissary of Indian handicraft throughout the world. Kantha are traditionally associated with rural women of Bengal who transformed pieces of old rags into magical textiles.  The designs of the Kantha products are pretty appealing and Kantha products are suitable for all occasions to be given away as gifts or for one’s own use.

Last there are seven different selections in the Bed Linen category and I received this beautiful Russian Flower Cotton Bedspread ($41) for review.  I was not sure what to expect when I opened the package because I had no idea which product was coming to me.  The first thing I noticed was the beautiful vibrant blue and green of the print.  The fabric is lightweight enough to use anytime of the year and fit our queen size bed perfectly!  I truly appreciate the care and time it takes to hand make beautiful products such as the ones found at CraftVogue!  It is a pleasure to be able to share these wonderful hand crafted products with you and I can’t help but picture the hours of labor poured in to each of these fabulously crafted pieces!  I can think of many occasions where this would make a lovely gift!

The beautiful block printed flowers of this bedspread are here to stay and brighten up every single day of yours. An all-season bedspread, the prints have been done with extreme precision to give it a complete and heavy look. Carefully hand printed by the rural women of Maharashtra, this bedspread promises to cheer up your mood as it has cheered up the lives of the artisans who created it exclusively for you.

CraftVogue is a new site just recently gone live and would be a fantastic place for you to consider for your holiday gift shopping.  It seems like this year we are all looking for gifts with more meaning.  Shopping at CraftVogue not only gives you a selection of unique gifts created by hand, but you are also making a difference in the lives of underprivileged families in rural India.
