Crafting Success: Barkha Raghav’s KALAGYA – Where Artistic Passion Becomes a Flourishing Enterprise

The act of creating art is, in itself, a challenging endeavor. However, embracing it as a profession and molding it into one’s defining identity elevates the challenge to a whole new level.

Here is an inspiring success story of an artistic venture named KALAGYA, a term derived from Sanskrit, meaning “artist”. This tale revolves around Barkha Raghav, a skilled self-taught artist who founded this enterprise due to her passion and dedication for art. Over the span of seven years, KALAGYA has blossomed into a distinguished platform where eager students embark on their artistic journeys and clients discover captivating pieces to purchase.

Sadhguru’s sketch is one of the best work done by Barkha till now. She has drawn this using only one pencil.

Barkha’s journey into entrepreneurship commenced when her kids were very young. Since she was looking after her kids at home, she was unable to pursue work outside of her home. Having worked in the field of mechanical drawing for 5 years and having loved it, she was inclined towards art. Having always loved art, she made art into her passion. This ignited a spark within her and she started sketching. Soon enough, this creative pursuit became an integral part of her daily routine and she started something of her own.

From black and white portraits to colored sketches the repertoire is professional and extensive

Barkha’s Colorful Artwork For Her Niece

“Initially, my heart resonated with pencil sketches and drawings, these black and white sketches focused on intricacies like eyes and facial expressions to bring portraits to life.” Says Barkha.

Having a conscious leaning towards creating portraits with charcoal and black pen Barkha has created unique portraits of a host of celebrities. Her favorite ones are what she created for the Mega Film Stars Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Business Man – Anand Mahindra and many more. A memory that Barkha treasures is when she had the privilege of meeting Amitabh Bachchan with the portrait, she created for him. Another super memory created for Barkha was when she got wishes and an autograph from Gulzar Sahaab on his sketch drawn by her.

KALAGYA is also a trusted source for family or individual portraits created on different mediums.

Portraits apart Couple Caricature handmade portrait Nameplate, Black and White Mountain Shades Acrylic painting on Canvas Acrylic. Handmade Acrylic Dot Mandala Wall Décor. Mixed Media Buddha on Canvas, Krishna on Canvas, and a whole lot more.

Evolving as an artist as time goes by and taking up art commissions too…

Barkha’s artistic journey is a daily devotion, reminiscent of the diligent practice of riyaaz. Her dedication to refining her craft is a constant, with each day presenting an opportunity to enhance her skills. As a mentor, she imparts her expertise to a dynamic cohort of fine arts students, exhibitions and unique forms of upcoming artwork. Furthermore, her commissioned projects act as both a creative outlet and a means of continuous improvement, ensuring her artistic prowess remains finely tuned.

Barkha has held art exhibitions at Indian Habitat Centre, Epicentre, and Vatika City. She has participated in Colors of Life 2016 at visual art gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. She has received Excellence Award- Fine Arts, presented by Pracheen Kalakendra and RaGaaz Music Academy in their annual event held at Apparel House, Epicentre in Gurgaon.

With a savvy grasp of social media, Barkha’s influence has expanded significantly. This has brought her in touch with eager students and garnered the attention of prospective art enthusiasts and buyers. In future, Barkha wants to teach students who are looking to purse fine arts as their career and passion. As her art-centered enterprise matures, Barkha aspires to establish a captivating art gallery in the coming years. Within these walls, her diverse creations will take center stage, offering a feast for the eyes and a source of inspiration. Here, aspiring artists can gather to learn, practice, and unlock their own potential.

Discover HIKIKOMORI KNITS: Reviving Handcrafted Knitwear in the Age of Fast Fashion

Knitwear in this era of fast fashion is something that is not on everyone’s to-wear or must-have list.

One brand HIKIKOMORI KNITS founded by a knitting artist Kavya Tiwari, is spinning quite a fabulous and tempting yarn with its dazzlingly colorful, knitted fashion wear. Hailing from a family that was very much into the business of textiles, Kavya herself since childhood, was very much attracted to yarn fibres and knitting.

“The age-old craft of knitting connected with me deeply and its possibilities truly excited me. The body inclusivity plus how easily knitting adapted to the dynamics of various human forms was another plus point that inspired me to take up fashion knitting as a profession.” Shared Kavya.

HIKIKOMORIKNITS today boasts of customized fashion and comfort wear that truly reflects the fusion of practicality with artistry.

Knitting colors together to create a vibrant fashion statement

“I’ve always personally loved solid colors or monochromes at most but working with multiple colors is becoming so much fun!” Says Kavya.

One look at the HIKIKOMORIKNITS online shop and you just cannot stop drooling at the splashes of colors that are knitted so well together. Every single product bears the mark of handmade craftsmanship, beginning its journey from inception to completion with an artisan’s touch. Even the yarn itself is at times meticulously handcrafted. Often, plus-size individuals encounter challenges in locating their sizes within showrooms or on websites dominated by mainstream brands. At HIKIKOMORIKNITS all it takes is a size specification at the point of order placement, and Kavya is there to ensure that every tiny detail is taken care of. Sizes are customizable up to size 6XL.

As for being sustainable Kavya shares,” The one more thing that makes knitwear a lot more sustainable is that in the future, let’s say you no longer want to wear what you have in hand, you can always unravel it and make something new out of it. It never goes to waste.”

The Cool Bobble Sleeved Chunky Sweater. Trendy Handknitted Chunky Hooded Bobble Pullover with an Attached Hoodie and Adjustable Cord. Stylish Chunky Knit Open Front Jacket with an Attached Tie Cord. Funky Leg Warmers. Cute Crochet Bucket Hat. Ombre Dyed Bobble Knit Pullover. Fabulous Co-ord handmade using a combination of Knit and Crochet styles. Exquisite Silk and Merino Handknitted Top.

Just check out all this and of course, place your order too quickly! It’s time you made knitwear a part of your hi-fashion wardrobe.

Creating a space to take the passion for fashion further

Kavya works from the comfort of her home and it is here that all the action takes place. From taking an order to knitting the garment and then also ensuring the packing and shipping, she handles everything single-handedly. Orders can be fulfilled to pin codes across India and also to any destination across the globe.

In the early days, the responses received from customers were positive, albeit modest. But over time, the business has steadily gained momentum. Each month, Kavya handles only five to six orders since knitting is a meticulous process that demands substantial time investment.

Says Kavya, “Currently, my focus is on indulging in and savoring every moment of this slow pace of creating. To me, it is a process that brings me profound joy. I find immense satisfaction in the simple act of sitting down and creating. While this might not align with the typical grand ambitions of a business owner, I firmly believe in preserving the initial spark that ignited my journey.”

Over the next five years, Kavya has ambitions to establish a studio that will be a hub for local artists, fostering a sense of connection and collaboration. She intends to carry her art forward and create innovative fashion statements with yarn.

Expressions like “Kabhi Blessed, Kabhi Depressed,” “Sada Swag-An Raho,” “The Messy Mohtarma,” “Sassy Savitri,” and “Wonder Womaniya” are bound to raise eyebrows and earn quick nods of appreciation.

The classics never go out of style either, with all-time favorites like “If You Can Read This You Are Too Close” and “I Need Some Space” always in high demand. And for the pet lovers out there, the heartwarming message “Pawsitive Vibes Only” continues to be a roaring hit.

But the real buzz surrounds bold and empowering messages like “BeKhauf,” “Ye Naari Bohat Bhaari,” and the unapologetically fierce “Ye Abla Tera Tabla Baja Degi.” These statements are more than just words; they are rallying cries for empowerment and self-expression. Their USP are designs like “Log Kya Kahengay,” “Sassy Savitri”, “Sada Swag-an Raho”, “Layak Nahi Nalayak Hu Mien,” which truly bring out that edgy desiness in the collection and is widely loved by the audience.

The amazing reviews that its customer’s share is proof enough of the brands growing and enduring popularity.

“Post pandemic we see a lot of people working from home so tees are the best option to be stylish, quirky and comfortable throughout the day.” Shared Manish.

Over a period of time, PAGAL AWWRAT aims to make an impression with its concepts on the global fashion scene. This motivation is an earnest endeavour to empower women everywhere.

A Mother’s Vision: The Birth of BABY&ME’s Unique Clothing Line

Creating clothing for babies and toddlers presents several unique challenges. Comfort, size, colours, convenience, and pricing there are so many factors to consider. But for Chaitra, the founder of BABY&ME the lack of options in baby clothing when she became a mother, was what inspired her to start her enterprise.

An Information Science Engineer with work experience across various startups, after giving birth to her baby, Chaitra wanted to spend quality time with her little one. During her search for beautiful, comfortable, and unique ethnic wear for her little one, she realized the gap in the market – and also an opportunity to make a difference. Consequently, she took matters into her own hands and started designing baby clothes herself.

The overwhelmingly positive feedback she received when she shared the designs with friends and acquaintances, was enough to convince her that there was a real demand for unique and thoughtful baby clothing, and this passion quickly transformed into a business idea. Today BABY&ME is a portal that creates exclusive clothing inspired by South Indian traditional dressing styles, fabrics and colours.

“I started my journey from scratch, but through my journey as a parent and an entrepreneur, I aim to provide not just baby clothes, but also a meaningful experience that brings joy and satisfaction to other parents. I believe that our clothing is more than just a fashion statement; it is a bridge to our culture and traditions.” Shared Chaitra.

Capturing the essence of South Indian culture and traditions in children’s clothing …

BABY&ME is a truly premier fashion destination specifically catering to little ones aged 0 to 5 years old. The exclusive collection of finely designed clothing is carefully curated to capture the essence of South Indian culture and traditions. Chaitra believes that when a child dons a traditional garment for the first time, they establish a connection with their roots and begin to appreciate their cultural identity. BABY&ME endeavours to make this connection as special and meaningful as possible by crafting comfortable, high-quality garments that children will adore wearing.

The softest of fabrics, the most comfortable fitting, the best of designs all at a very competitive price, almost half the rate at what similar products are selling in the market

The goal is to become the number one choice for parents who seek the best for their babies…

BABY&ME has successfully established an engaging online and offline presence, with more than a thousand unique dresses for children already being sold. The customer base too has grown substantially, exceeding 1000+ satisfied parents who have chosen BABY&ME to dress up their little ones for any and every occasion.

What started as a small Instagram store, now has scaled to more than 20k followers on the social media platform, and has won the hearts of thousands of moms. The current growth trajectory too is very promising, having expanded tenfold from the initial beginnings. Now the ambitious goal is to become the go-to destination for parents seeking exceptional clothing for their children in South India.

“With a wide range of thoughtfully designed and high-quality clothing options, we aim to be the top choice in the hearts of parents across the region. As soon as parents think of South Indian ethnic wear for their precious ones, we want them to instinctively think of Baby&Me.” Shared Chaitra.

Amalu focuses on creating a synergy between a client’s customization expectations and her design team, so that the end product turns out to be truly exclusive in every sense.

The bridal and designer wear carrying the MALURAAH label are completely original in every sense. The no compromise design approach begins from the sketches made from the clients’ request and goes right up to the final delivery. Every little thing matters.

Says Amalu, “With our team of designers and garment artisans, we are always looking at fresh interpretations by experimenting with fabrics, cuts, flow and embellishments.  

This has ensured that the brand comes up in the choice list and when clients visit the store or the online portal, they get to see a collection that is enticing and truly different from what the mass-produced dresses that are generally available. They have also set up a physical store in Kochi.

Wrapped with Care: Embrace Sustainability with Sara’s Art – Inspired Wrapping Papers and Pouches

At the herald of a festive season or any special occasion such as baby showers, birthdays, anniversaries, celebration parties and more, one is always bombarded with questions on gifting ideas. Those glossy, shiny gift-wrapping papers that appeal to children and adults flood the homes in waves; however it is not just any waste that can be easily recycled or composted. Most of the gift wrapping paper is made of plastic which takes almost forever to decompose.

Sustainability has been a growing trend and key focus in the stationery industry over recent years and has sparked an increase in innovative eco-friendly products from notebooks to gift-wrap. As people are increasingly leaning towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle, sustainable gift-wrapping is another green practice that some have adopted.

Brands and manufacturers in the gift packaging market are responding to this demand by offering eco-friendly options, such as recycled paper, plant-based inks, and reusable or compostable packaging materials.

The Novel & Ecological Way Of Presenting With Sara

As rightly quoted by Van Gogh, “what is done with love is done well”, and when it comes to gifting a dear one, it is not mere the product that matters but how affectionately the gift is presented. What could be better than donning a gift with reusable and environment friendly gift boxes, beautiful embroidered pouches and wrapping papers and tags. If one is looking for fun, minimal and beautifully crafted sheets to wrap their gifts with, then heading out to the Bangalore based brand called “Sara” would be a prudent choice. One could easily checkout their finest collection of art inspired, sustainable and eco-friendly products such as wrapping papers, fabric wrappers, gift boxes, hand embroidered gift pouches, gift tags, hand written greeting cards, notebooks. Their tree free wrapping papers are made from recycled cotton in unique floral and calligraphy designed papers.

The Inspirational Start To Gift Happiness

Sara Armaghan, the founder of the brand started selling her products first in the Namu’s vegan market in Bangalore in July 2022; however the foundation was set long before when she started designing the products and working on the website and sourcing the materials from 2020.

From conceptualization to designing and working on the products, everything started to get aligned gradually. Her husband has been of immense support right from the onset of her entrepreneurial journey. She is a self- taught artist who researched and explored the innovativeness that could be introduced in gift packaging.Her DIY creativity was neither backed by any art or drawing course, but her consistent passion to create more and more designs made her understand that such patterns could be used on wrapping papers and wallpapers.

All the floral designs and products designs are done by Sara and the brand has collaborated with few artists like the calligraphy artist, embroidery artist, block print artist.Having collaborated with one of her friends named Pooja, a block print artist and educator from Amoha prints, Sara created wonders in her business.Her friend supports her with all blocks of the drawings and she does the printing for the brand too.Her sister, who is yet another huge support in the Business is their art consultant and the Sara logo was a beautiful gift from her.

The USP of all their products lies in the material they use to create handmade gifting products. All their products are either made by either organic ink or recycled material and reusable cotton. Besides, they offer everything necessary to make a gifts’s packaging look complete, from wrapping paper, gift box, card and ribbon to gift cloths and pouches. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese furoshiki wrapping cloth, they also offer wrapping fabric on similar lines which are premium quality cloths with the brand’s block designs imprinted. All their wrapping sheets and boxes are not only sturdy but aesthetically appealing also and can be reused easily.

Moving Forward With Bigger Dreams

The brand that started in pandemic times, saw a surge in response & demands post pandemic when exhibitions gave a great platform to connect with prospective customers. Their designs are minimalist but very exquisite and different from the usual wrapping materials. The brand aims to collaborate with well known gifting names and continue offering products at an affordable price. It also aims to open a physical boutique in place where customers can touch & feel the products.
