National Handicraft Enterprises

National Handicraft Enterprises is located at 557, Chara Mandi. If you know the area, you know it’s always active. There is a lot of wood and raw material moving around here. Our shop is filled with the smell of sawdust and old lacquer. We don’t have a showroom with bright lights. Most of our items are stacked up on wooden pallets or tucked into corners. We work with our hands mostly. You’ll usually see a few of us sitting on low stools working on a piece of furniture or a small carving. It’s dusty work and we don't mind getting our hands dirty. We’ve been at this address for a long time, and the locals know us as the place that always has something interesting buried in the back. We don't really do much advertising. People just find us or they’ve been coming here for years. The front door stays open most of the day to let the air circulate. We have a small radio that plays in the background, but mostly you just hear the sound of chisels and hammers. We aren't trying to be a big factory. We just like making things and selling them to people who appreciate the effort. It’s a simple life and a simple business. We close up when the sun goes down and start again the next morning.
