If you don't believe in mass-produced products, check out Saai Venkat's handcrafted accessories

Heart and soul

Saai creates a mix of neckpieces, earrings, bracelets, hairclips, hair-bands as well as stationery. Saai believes in running an environmentally friendly enterprise and uses up-cycled fabric for her products. She also supports the cause of women empowerment and though a small enterprise now, she has two middle-aged women from lower income groups who assist her. Eventually, she aims to employ more as the business expands.


She uses several handmade techniques to create her products including crochet, knitting, cloth flower making and macramé. One can choose customised accessories according to colours and pattern of choice, which Saai delivers within
a week.

Though a bit expensive, we loved her crochet hoops (Rs 425), which work well for a colour-blocking look. Her floral and chain mix bib neckpieces also make for great accessories with a plain boyfriend jacket, to be worn to office or a round neck top for a night out (Rs 450). We also liked her range of hairclips (start from Rs30) and cute animal crochet paper clips.
