Inspired by candyjapan - Subscribe to receive Indian handicrafts by mail
HN, I love travelling & collecting Indian arts and crafts items from across rural India.
I thought it would be a good fit to turn this into a business after I saw the candyjapan experiment and realised there would a lot of demand for Indian arts & crafts around the world.
So I made this website http://indianartfor.me/
Please let me know what you guys think
- coryl 15y agoInteresting take on the concept. I'm not too sure about the target market (or in this case, the product offering). I really don't see very many people wanting an "artifact" like a vase or bowl showing up in their mail every month. With candyjapan, you get interesting new candy to eat and taste and there is a novelty to it. Arts and crafts however is a lot less functional, and I can't see anyone really wanting something like that. However, I think maybe you could find a niche in Indian fashion items. Shoes, jewelry, shoals, interesting little pieces that people can share and show off. Maybe that would be more interesting to the consumer?
- combiclickwise 15y agoHandicrafts include a range of items including fashion "stuff". I am not yet sure what will work and I intend to ask/look for a lot of feedback on that. I kept jewelry out of it because I wasn't sure what sex the users belong to and didn't want to make the registration process complex by asking for those details. Right now, my focus is on unisex items. But I do agree that fashion might be a good niche to focus on. Thanks a ton for the feedback :-)
