HerSpace finds immense inspiration in the story of Okhai. The reach, impact, and aesthetic of Okhai’s retail outlets resonate deeply with our mission. At HerSpace, we aspire to one day open our own store that promotes women artisans from across India, encouraging every individual to make conscious purchases that positively impact the lives of these talented women. Okhai’s commitment to celebrating native crafts and the artisans behind them, while also fostering equity for intergenerational families, is truly commendable. The impact of Okhai’s work is evident in the empowerment of women who are now playing significant roles in decision-making within their homes and communities, sending their children to school, and achieving financial independence. With over 30,000 artisans across 20+ states, working on more than 15 crafts, Okhai brings work directly to women’s doorsteps, integrating modern technology to help them balance family, social, and work life. Their artisans and designers collaborate on themes inspired by architectural monuments and abstract forms, creating collections that blend traditional crafts with contemporary design. This approach not only revives traditional crafts but also provides artisans with the artistic growth and visibility they need to sustain their craft. At HerSpace, we share Okhai’s vision of supporting artisans by providing them with opportunities for artistic growth, upskilling, and visibility. We are committed to creating a sustainable future where traditional crafts thrive in contemporary forms and where every purchase contributes to the empowerment of these talented women.
