“For The Love Of God’s Own Products”
Kerala, rightly called the God’s Own country is a beautiful emotion by itself. Located in the south of India, this little state is known for its backwaters and house boats, beautiful tourist locations, the umpteen festivals, religious harmony and the lush greenery. For a state and its people living so close to nature, it is no surprise that much of Kerala’s handicraft industry is based on sustainable, eco-friendly products.
Kerala is famous for its coconut usage and the tall coconut trees that you see everywhere in the state. Coconut is one of the toughest fruits out there. The coconut shells have been traditionally used as bowls and spoons. Nowadays, these shells have found their place in home décor and it truly celebrates what Kerala stands for. Candle holders, divas, table lamps are made from coconut shells can be found in five-star resorts to not only to promote sustainable products and minimal wastage but also to celebrate the essence of the state.
Elephants and boats are a huge part of the local culture. Boat race is the favourite sport among the people and elephants form an integral part of Kerala’s huge timber industry and all the fun temple festivals. Elephants are adorned in all its magnificence during these festivals. Wooden carvings of elephants and boats embellished with gold to signify its rich culture can be found all through Kerala.
Bamboo shoots and daily use products made from them has seen a rising trend in the past couple days – mostly for its best out of waste sentiment, the light weight and durability.
As a state, Kerala is in the path of development. And combating climate changewith sustainability and minimal wastage is the right way to undertake this. With that point of view, all these products are really a great way to boost the handicraft industry keeping in mind the social value of protecting our environment.
We personally loved each product Frill & Whisper has on offer from Kerala. Every single craft is carefully curated and works beautifully on the sentiments behind the brand.
