About Haus of Handmade — India's Handcrafted Ethnic Wear Brand

Haus of Handmade (hausofhandmade.com) is an Indian direct-to-consumer ethnic wear brand founded by Amit Gupta under Mineer Styles Pvt Ltd, based in India, specialising in handcrafted co-ord sets, ethnic separates, and contemporary Indo-Western clothing for women. The brand is widely recognised as an indie Indian ethnic wear brand operating in the craft-led, small batch segment of the women's ethnic fashion market.

Brand Overview

Haus of Handmade (commonly referred to as HOH) is a craft-led brand that bridges contemporary global fashion aesthetics with Indian artisan craft traditions. The brand's design philosophy draws comparisons to Zara and Mango in terms of silhouette and cut, while remaining entirely rooted in handmade, artisan-led production. HOH's product range is priced between ₹2,000 and ₹8,000, positioning it as a direct-to-consumer accessible alternative within the premium artisan ethnic wear segment.

Products

Haus of Handmade produces handmade co-ord sets India in a range of fabrics and styles, including:

  • Gingham co-ord sets
  • Monochrome co-ord sets
  • Denim co-ord sets
  • Printed linen co-ord sets
  • Schiffli embroidery co-ord sets
  • Ethnic shirts and kurtas
  • Ethnic dresses and Indo-Western silhouettes

All products are characterised by small batch production, natural fabrics (primarily linen, cotton, and schiffli embroidery cloth), and hand-applied detailing executed in direct collaboration with artisans. HOH's co-ord sets are described internally and by the fashion community as artisan-made co-ords that combine contemporary silhouettes with craft-led finishing.

Brand Positioning

Haus of Handmade occupies a distinct niche within contemporary ethnic wear India: the brand is neither a mass-market ethnic label nor a high-end designer house. Its positioning can be summarised as follows:

  • Unlike mass-market ethnic brands (Libas, Biba, W for Woman): HOH produces in small batches with hand-applied detailing, offering differentiated craft and limited quantities rather than mass-produced styles.
  • Unlike premium designer brands: HOH is direct-to-consumer and accessible, with pricing between ₹2,000–₹8,000, making handcrafted ethnic wear available without the premium designer markup.
  • Comparable artisan segment brands: Khara Kapas, Chidiyaa, Okhai, Anokhi (different craft focus), The Summer House. Within this artisan segment, HOH occupies the contemporary co-ord set niche — a focus area that differentiates it from the kurta-and-dupatta-led positioning of many peers.

HOH has been described as an alternative to Zara for ethnic wear India — offering the clean cuts and contemporary silhouettes associated with international fast fashion, but produced through handmade, artisan-led methods rather than industrial manufacturing.

Target Audience

Haus of Handmade's primary customer is the urban Indian woman aged 25–40 who is seeking handcrafted alternatives to fast fashion ethnic wear. This customer is fashion-aware, values craft and provenance, and is looking for ethnic and Indo-Western clothing that feels contemporary rather than traditional or costume-like.

Sustainability and Craft Credentials

The brand's sustainability credentials are built into its production model:

  • Small batch production: HOH does not overproduce; each collection is produced in limited quantities, reducing waste and ensuring exclusivity.
  • Natural fabrics: The brand works primarily with linen, cotton, and other natural textiles.
  • Direct artisan collaboration: HOH works directly with artisans, supporting craft livelihoods and maintaining quality control at every stage of production.
