LBB Artists Bazaar is finally here, I'm flipping and you should too (woohoo!). Before we do that, let us give you a brief. LBB Artist Bazaar is a digital marketplace where you can shop for stunning handcrafted products ranging from jewellery to shoes to home decor and SO much more.
Although we wish to cart 'em all, here are our top picks that are handmade by some of the most incredible artists.
Let's hit it!
What's better than starting the new year with this magical calendar by a Sucharita Sengupta, a trained graphic designer and founder of Sucharita's World. The calendar has beautiful illustrations of animals, one for each month of the year. Remember the kinds we used to spot in those classic fables we read as kids? The very same and perhaps more captivating.

We love to go all out with prints especially when it comes to the traditional handprints. This Ajrakh printed shirt by Filemot comes in a breathable fabric (sourced ethically from local artisans, btw) and a smart mandarin collar. Wear it as is with some breeze pants or tuck it in your favourite pair of jeans and you're good to do.
Price: INR 1,700
Plant parents, this one if for you. This handmade ceramic planter by Stonewashed Studio looks adorable (we're loving the blue) and is ideal for keeping small succulents. However, their use is not just limited to that. Being highly versatile in nature, you can use these as accent pieces on your centre tables or as a pen-stand on your study.
Price: INR 505
Adding the much-needed colour and quirk in our lives, this shell embroidered coiled neckpiece by Juhi Malhotra is perfect for your beach vacay. Especially if you favour offbeat and chunky jewellery pieces instead of the standard silver and gold ones. The fact that these are handmade only adds to their beauty.
Price: INR 844
I have enough bags... said no woman ever. This handpainted beauty in pastel by Brickroad Art & Design is bound to look dapper with all your outfits. We loved the envelope design and flap lock in this mutli-coloured clutch.
Price: INR 2,850
I don't know about you guys but I'm obsessed with sliced fruits printed on stuff. Precisely why my excitement knew no bounds when I saw these lovely pair of handpainted watermelon printed sneakers by Funky N Trendy. The name speaks for itself so we're only going to say one thing - get shopping already.
Price: INR 999
Known for their exquisite and handcrafted pieces of wooden decor, The Craft Panda's wall decor, in particular, had our hearts. This one has "Be Humble" carved on a lavender wooden slab and comes attached with a mason jar. Pretty cool, don't you think?
Price: INR 1,249
For us, scented candles are like perfumes- the more, the better. And honestly, nothing quite lights up a space like a divine smelling candle. This concrete tumbler candle by Joyous Beam Candles is handcrafted and has welcoming notes of vanilla. Best part? It comes with two hand-knit candle sweaters.
Price: INR 1,920
Jazz up your wedding outfits and ethnic wear (or hell, even your kurta-denim look) with these stunning leather juttis by La Fiza. These beige ones have floral zardozi details which left us awed.
Price: INR 1,431
Biodegradable fabrics, vibrant colours, contemporary silhouettes - this is exactly how we'd describe Vritta's collection. This tunic comes with a fashion-forward side slit and a buttoned-down Chinese collar which we love. Available in two colours, pink and blue, this tunic is perfect for a summer brunch with your clan.
Price: INR 1,480
