A textile-crafting technique that traces its history back to Arabic weavers during the 13th century, Macrame uses decorative knots to finish the loose-ends of hand-woven textiles. Till date, it continues to adorn many homes as table-clothes, bedspreads, curtains and other decorative pieces. Quite a few brands in India recognize and appreciate the uniqueness of this art.

Launched on 21st April 2021 by the gutsy software developer-turned-entrepreneur Shaikh Sana, Illusional Macrame is a startup that aims to provide eco-friendly sustainable fibre art so that an artist would not have to struggle to either start a business or keep running their existing business. It provides guidance to all artists struggling with art sales and provides a platform where products of various artists are promoted, thereby bringing sales & more engagement to their page.

Journey began with answering the call of creativity

Who would have thought that an art form learnt ages ago would serve as an inspiration for your first startup venture? That’s exactly what happened with the founder of Illusional Macrame. In the summer of 2011, she casually learnt the basics of macramé art, but then life happened.

A software developer by profession, Sana was always passionate about creating something new, either through coding or through art. Creating functional yet creative décor had been her ever-growing passion.

To gratify those creative instincts, soon after completing education, she started making different home décor products. When she learnt that no vendor provides 100% cotton macramé or other accessories, she began toying with the idea of starting a business that would extend help to all artists by providing the necessary accessories so that they don’t have to compromise with their art. After thorough research and adequate preparation, ILLUSIONAL MACRAME came into being, the brand name coined by her father. Sana attributes the success of this ambitious venture to the unconditional support and encouragement she received from her family.
