Shilpi- as the name depicts – the creator or the originator, has been the initiator of the textile trends for the last 20 years. Based in the textile city Jaipur (Sanagner), Shilpi has been a successful craft based business using traditional techniques of hand block printing and embroideries. Founded by the traditional textile printer from Sanganer ,Brij Udaiwal, the company focuses on providing employment to 85 odd units dealing in hand-block printing, hand embroidery and stitching and which are located in Jaipur, Sanganer, Bagru and near by places.

The company treats every craft person as the original creator of the design and the process because he is the one who knows his job well and has been doing it since ages and thus can create things which are truly his own creations. Thus every craft person in Shilpi is a ‘Shilpkar’.

 

Shilpi Handicraft has a team of designers who regularly strive at providing latest trends and know how to the craft persons in order to inculcate the innovation amongst them. Also they emphasize on constantly experimenting and innovating, especially with modern colors and patterns to see how they could be applied to the craft.
