Artisan Sourcing & Production in India
Artisan sourcing in India requires more than access to crafts - it requires deep on-ground production understanding. VISHH is an artisan sourcing and production partner in India, working with global fashion, home and lifestyle brands to develop small-batch, craft-led products. We work across hand embroidery, weaving, block printing and mixed craft techniques, managing the entire process from design translation and sampling to production, quality control and finishing.
Small-batch Production in India
Small-batch production in India allows brands to develop limited-run, high-quality, craft-led products without the pressures of mass manufacturing. At VISHH, we specialise in small-batch production for fashion, home, hospitality and lifestyle brands, managing sampling, production planning, quality control and finishing through our on-ground production team.
What is Artisan Sourcing
Artisan sourcing is the process of identifying skilled craft clusters, understanding their techniques and capacities, and translating design ideas into reliable, repeatable production. In India, artisan sourcing works best when supported by strong production systems, clear timelines, transparent costing and on-ground quality control.
​
At VISHH, artisan sourcing is always paired with production management - ensuring that handmade processes meet contemporary design, quality and delivery expectations.
Our Capabilities
Design translation & craft feasibility
We help brands translate design intent into craft-appropriate execution, guiding material choices, techniques and construction from the start.
​
Pattern making, sampling & development
Our in-house team develops samples, refines fits and builds production-ready patterns suited for small-batch manufacturing.
​
Hand embroidery, weaving & surface techniques
We work closely with artisan clusters and master embroiderers to test stitches, refine motifs and execute craft techniques aligned with your brand’s aesthetic.

On-ground production management

Why Brands Struggle with Artisan Sourcing in India
Many global brands struggle with artisan sourcing in India due to fragmented communication, inconsistent quality and unclear production timelines. Without on-ground coordination, handmade production becomes difficult to manage at scale.
​
As an artisan sourcing and production partner, VISHH bridges this gap by combining design understanding with hands-on production management - allowing brands to work with Indian artisans in a structured, reliable way.
How We Work
We operate as long-term production partners rather than transactional agents. Our approach is collaborative, transparent and deeply involved on the ground - ensuring that craftsmanship, timelines and quality are aligned at every stage.
​
Our focus is on building systems around artisans, not industrialising them.
