Kaarigar is in Vancouver's Yaletown district, and features unique handmade clothing, furniture and accessories for you and your home. The window displays and owner's gorgeous photographs draw you right in for an amazing journey through a beautifully curated Indian space. The gracious welcome is an invitation into a well loved home of resources proudly offered and enthusiastically shared.
Intricate and rich, colorful textiles are everywhere - on pillows,
cushions and carpets, on scarves, on stools, tablecloths and place mats.
If you've seen the movie, The Lunchbox, you'll know about tiffins, the stacked
containers in which workers' lunches are delivered. Picture your own
lunch prepared and presented in these. How about a Vancouver
Tiffin system, please.
Kaarigar's name and logo = artisan. Developing and sustaining
small businesses, and bringing their fabulous work here.
I bought one of the hand poured soy candles as a gift for Anthea,
for her post holiday return to Toronto. She took the candle and
I have the box and my place is filled with a soft yet subtle fragrance.
More, please.
Not only did I want to buy everything in the store, I also considered
those wonderful photographs that show the artisans at work. Color
and craft as a backdrop for these vases.
Jewelry and one of a kind hand sewn dresses and tops are classic and timeless.
Look at the detail in this vase.
Dancers performed and taught us how to celebrate this store and all it offers. Everything for
you and your home is here. Imagine an event at Kaarigar - music, décor, candles, jewels,
art and artisans!
Thanks for a festive Saturday morning and for a trip to India, every day!
