Coir art: Coir art has its roots set in the “Land of coconuts” or Kerala. The craftsmen of Kerala introduced it to the state of Orissa; these two states have gained the reputation of being the major centres for coir art in contemporary India. This art had never been restricted to selected castes, but was majorly practised by the women of these states. The process is spread out over many days
  • First and foremost, the coir is obtained from treated coconuts husks – white coir from green coconuts, and brown coir from ripe coconuts. Coconut husks are treated with saline or freshwater for 8-10 months in order to increase flexibility, strength and durability of the fibre. This coir is cut into the required lengths using special scissors.
  • Following this, the design of the artefact is decided and accordingly cardboard is cut out, on which the coir is tied with thread. If the design is complicated, like the shape of a human, then different parts of the artefact are created separately by several craftsmen. These parts are then combined using threads, needles and fevicol. The crafts people often use adhesive tape to protect their fingers from cuts.
  • Coloured wool, wooden beads and metal balls are used to enhance the product.
  • Once ready, the products are dipped in a solution of diluted fevicol to enhance the stiffness of the thread and to ensure that the product does not get undone. The final product may take two days to six months, depending upon its size.
In traditional times, coir was bought from Kerala to Orissa. Today, however, Orissa has its own coir production units, though Kerala remains the largest producer of coir in the country. This art traditionally produced coir door mats, mattresses, cushions. This has moved largely towards utility and decor objects, like toys and wall hangings, today. Coir art in not only popular in domestic markets, but is gaining recognition in the international markets as well.

Region – This art comes from Orissa, which is renowned for its rich culture and heritage, is located on the east coast of the Bay of Bengal in India. Also one of the richest states in tradition and art, it is the centre of Jain, Buddhist and Hindu religion. Orissa is equally well known for its grand temples and celebrated Odissi dance.

Social Impact – At Craftsvilla we are dedicated to supporting the artisans, who have preserved our rich and diverse heritage and culture and are now finding it difficult to sustain it. We support them by providing them employment and bringing to the world their priceless art in the form of our products. Often we have been able to revive a form of art dying out, due to lack of funds and provide a source of income to countless families. Taking this one step further we have also established a Craftsvilla fund in support of these artisans."
