H. N. Handicrafts

H. N. Handicrafts is located at 180, Lajpat Nagar. We’ve been in this neighborhood for a while now. The shop is filled with all sorts of things we’ve collected and made. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but there is a logic to the mess. We spend our days working with our hands and talking to people who walk in off the street. Lajpat Nagar is always bustling, so there's never a dull moment outside the door. Inside, we try to keep things a bit calmer. We don't use big machines or anything; it’s mostly just us and our tools. People ask why we stay here, and it's mostly because we like the community. You get to know the other shop owners and the regulars. H. N. Handicrafts isn't a huge corporation. It’s just a small business trying to do things the old way. We have stuff piled up on shelves and tucked into corners. Sometimes we find things we forgot we had. It's a bit of a maze, really. We don’t have a fancy website or a bunch of slogans. We just sell what we make and hope people like it. The address at 180 is easy to find if you know the area. We’re usually here from morning until the sun goes down. It’s a simple life, but we enjoy the work and the people we meet.
