Orregin began with a deep appreciation for India’s phenomenal handicrafts, discovered while working in the technology sector across the country. We were privileged to witness the rich tapestry of regional crafts, each reflecting generations of skill and cultural heritage.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, we saw firsthand the devastating impact on the handicraft industry as tourism came to a halt. Skilled artisans were forced to abandon their crafts in search of alternative work to support their families and communities. Witnessing this, we made a commitment upon returning to the UK: to become a bridge between these hidden artisans and a global audience.
