Products: The products are authentic, nicely crafted & are also mentioned as toxic free.
Few Suggestions:
1. Some items don't have their dimensions mentioned, hope they do include it.
2. It would be good if they have the different pictures of the products in different angles, single pictures sometimes make it difficult to decide.
3. Hope they include COD soon, because if I'm a first time shopper on the website, I would opt for COD to make sure I'm not deceived & I can trust the website for future online transactions.
Final Word: These young folks who are running this website have put their heart into it & trying to make it a huge success! I appreciate the fact that they give credit to each craftsman! Every products you see has the craftsman's name mentioned with some pictures of them. This venture is already a success & I hope this endeavor makes them a household name for handicrafts.
