Support The Artisans

Due to the crisis of the Coronavirus Pandemic, most of our artisans are facing trouble-like situations. The supplies of Pashmina raw materials got affected due to the nationwide lockdown. Even the Craftsmen have no access to cash for their goods in the market. Small businesses of those textiles are not able to welcome buyers into their stores. Poor artisans are suffering a lot due to the downfall of the global market.

 WE, are selling worldwide online and appreciate your trust and support. At this time, we are helping those craftsmen to find potential buyers just to sell them and support the community. Our goal at KashCrafts is only to promote this Luxury Fine Art and to provide you with the best at an affordable price.

 At the beginning of this August, KashCrafts started a new campaign #supportartisans to promote those artisans (often family-run) helping them to sell their Fine Textiles. Use this hashtag to reach the limits. Those products are genuine and the prices are very low as compared to the market. KashCrafts is more into supporting those skilled artisans rather than earning much out of their crafts. Your support will be highly appreciated to join this campaign and the contribution just to bring them out of this trouble. KashCrafts offers a complimentary gift on every purchase during this campaign. Join KashCrafts to support the community.
