About the Artists:
"It all started with a wish to preserve and promote the beautiful handmade textiles that are slowly losing against the world that's passing by very fast! It bothered us that handmade crafts and craftsmanship were so undervalued, especially in countries like India where survival was more important. With the passion to do something about it, we picked up our bags and went on our craft tour of India.
With such a history of making a product, it was impossible for us not to be part of it! And thus came Ichcha, or 'a wish', to live and encourage everyone to live consciously; conscious of the environment and the value and life of the products created and sought." -
