Kerala Handicrafts

You can find us on East Tank Road in Nandambakkam. It is a bit of a walk from the main road but not too bad. We have a lot of stuff from Kerala here, mostly wood carvings and brass items. It smells like sandalwood and old wood inside most of the time. We get shipments in every now and then and it takes ages to unpack everything without breaking things. Kerala Handicrafts is really just a place for people who like handmade things for their homes. We have these big umbrellas and small statues that people buy. The dust gets on everything so we spend half the day with a cloth cleaning the shelves. It is a quiet shop. We do not have a lot of staff, usually just one or two of us here to help customers. The building is simple. We keep the inventory in the back room. Sometimes the light in the corner flickers but we have not gotten around to fixing it yet. People come in to find gifts or just to look around for a while. We do not push anyone to buy, they just look. It is nice to see the work the artisans do. We have been in Nandambakkam for a good bit of time. It is not a big fancy showroom, just a regular shop with lots of things packed into the shelves. We open around ten and stay until the evening. If you want something unique, we probably have it tucked away somewhere.
