ARTISAN STORY
Spanning a legacy of 5,000 years, the jewellery of India is a timeless expression of the country’s aesthetic and cultural history. The small number of jewels that have survived from different periods and different parts of the country, references in literature, texts on gemology, myths, legends, and chronicles provide evidence of a tradition without parallel in the world. The various arts of handcrafting jewellery since ancient times like Kundan, Jadau, Ivory, Gold, Filigree, Bead, Lac & Pachchikam jewellery carry a certain traditional value to them.
All products at House of Tuhina are handmade. From the makers of the raw material to the weaving of jewellery, it is all done by hand. Various techniques have been developed in-house to make different designs. The techniques are created by the brand and are exclusive and original to House of Tuhina. The designer herself then teaches these techniques to women artisans. The brand is committed to involve numerous women in and around Delhi - NCR, who were until now unemployed, by teaching them techniques such as hand weaving, thereby giving them not just employment and monetary gains, but also respect in society. These women are empowered with the means to earn money within their homes where they can, at the same time, look after their children and homes.
The story of this brand started with two ladies approaching the designer house for domestic work. Today, the first two ladies who came to Tuhina have become cluster leaders and handle about 200 women under them.
The Brand, under the able supervision of its founder, Tuhina Goyal, is filled with the values that she supports while creating aesthetics in a fashion that truly represents India to the world. House of Tuhina has made path-breaking improvements in the wider acceptance of new fashion protocols with an Indian essence while sparking a revolution in the fashion world for something as precious as a handcrafted masterpiece. House of Tuhina is the curator and custodian of the skilled Indian craftsmanship that is required to produce an impeccable product, which is one of a kind.
