The state of Gujarat has been blessed with a rich and vibrant tradition of
handicrafts. Handicrafts were originally based on home production for daily use.
Each article was made almost entirely by hand. Skilled men and women, whose
work was
distinguished by their inherent good taste and by the economical use of raw
materials,
made each article. Handcrafted products were sturdy yet were graced with
tremendous
visual appeal
and have been greatly sought after. Amongst the traditional handicrafts of
Gujarat are numerous things that a discerning buyer would wish to admire and
acquire. The range of offerings spans a wide array of furniture, jewellery,
metalwork items, embroidered
garments, colorful linen, leatherwork, beadwork, mirror work, baked clay
articles etc.
All these are created to reflect the lifestyle, culture and above all the spirit of Gujarat.
