New Delhi, May 16 (KNN) The Cottage Emporium which is a leading source for Indian handicrafts created by skilled Indian artists and masters of crafts is keen to set up a cottage café in its showroom here to enhance the shopping experience of customers.
The facility is frequented by tourists both domestic and international who enjoy browsing through the treasure trove of artist-made handicrafts, furnishings, jewellery, accessories, objects and accents for home or office.
An in-house café would be an ideal source for refreshment for those spending hours at the emporium. The cottage café will offer a variety of beverages, Indian food as well as fast food items like pizzas, burghers, patties and sandwiches, according to official data.
In this context, the Central Cottage Industries Corporation of India seeks bids from agencies to operate and manage the Café.
The Central Cottage Industries Emporium is the country’s window to the world for authentic handloom and handicraft products. Post colonialism, seeing the adverse effects of industrialization on the Indian economy and social milieu, a need was felt to give Indian crafts its rightful place and provide a platform to showcase work of crafts persons across the country and help them to earn a decent livelihood. Over the years it has helped to restore the crafts persons’ pride in their work, recognized their genius and gave them a viable and honoured future.
Other than its flagship showroom in Delhi, the Cottage has showrooms in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, offering the finest crafts with an assurance of authenticity, beauty and value, setting standards in aesthetics and design.
Products range from exquisite sculptures, paintings, artefacts, metal ware, woodcraft, pottery, stoneware and marble craft, branded Bankura silver, carpets, furniture, furnishings, home linen, sarees, ready to wear, accessories, jewellery, craft items, herbal products and much more. They reflect the traditional myths, folklores, religious beliefs, cultural ethos and rich heritage of India.
The cottage is largely instrumental in creating traditional handicrafts and handlooms into high fashion goods to suit modern usage while retaining the basic ethnic values. It has also engaged itself with craft clusters in different parts of the country for providing marketing support to the product development. In that, it has been playing major role in the revival of languishing crafts, the creations of Indian craftsmen, weavers and folk artists.
The emporium has promoted handicraft and handloom on a multiple front, embracing market research, handpicked selection, design development, impeccable quality, careful variety, fixed prices, imaginative promotions, a basket of auxiliary services like customized corporate gifting, interior designing services, packing/shipping facilities, specialized gift wrapping, ATM, foreign exchange counters etc. (KNN/ES)
