Kut-Lery Organizer

Category: Accessories

Competitions: International

This product is a cutlery organizer inspired by the Zari leather craft of Kutch hence i have named it KUT-LERY organizer , where traditional thread embellishment is reinterpreted in a simplified, contemporary manner. The sides are assembled using hand thonged stitching, highlighting craft detail and durability. Designed as a portable and adaptable accessory, it features a magnet on the back, allowing it to be placed on a fridge, metal surface, or carried during travel for easy everyday use. It blends traditional craft sensibility with modern functionality and lifestyle needs. This project was done after the research in the current existing organizers in the market and also it was done to increase the range of products for the artisans in the community .
