There's so much positive conversation around supporting local and small business. One look at Anuja Rusiya's creative, handmade products and you would want to pour all your love into supporting her small yet thriving business. She is an artist who brings her creative genius onto paper with her gorgeous illustrations under the brand name Antara. She shapes her handmade illustrations into bookmarks, home décor, stationery and other fashion and lifestyle products and sells them as artisanal pieces, something you would love to have in your homes and lives.
Her beautiful diaries (INR 219) have colourful illustrations spread across the cover pages. She also sells travel journals (with 120 ruled pages for INR 199) that are perfectly sized for you to fill up your summer vacation travels. Her bookmarks (INR 199 for a set of 5) are spread across themes of wilderness and pretty places around the world. The bookmarks are so strikingly beautiful, you'd probably hoard them all! She also has fancy greeting cards for your loved ones (INR 199 for a set of 4). If you are looking for affordable yet stunning wall decor, her watercolour paintings would be the right choice. From botanical illustrations to a scene from London to a caricature of Walter White (from Breaking Bad) - she does it all!
Want to start supporting local brands and their unique creations, Antara would be a good place to begin.
