HunarKaar (Beta) app for iPhone and iPad

Artistry and workmanship in Pakistan comes effortlessly to thousands of its people whose creativity comes from a mix of interlaced myths, legends and experiences.

Hunarkaar celebrates the progression of skillful design and passionate craftsmanship, that mould the unrivaled motley of Pakistan’s history and identity, from ideas into reality. The artifacts, each representing the unique skills, design patterns and colors of a region, paint a large canvas of unmatched ingenuity quietly perfected over centuries. In the hope of elevating the dignity of the Pakistani artisans, this special portal was conceived to eventually feature thousands of deeply committed artisans from across the country and present their art and craft to people across the world. It is our effort to bring you a patently distinctive selection of handcrafted traditional and contemporary products, while ensuring that each artisan on this platform is acknowledged and celebrated.

Hunarkaar is a platform to empower artisans that have limited access to the global market, with the provision of a marketplace that exhibits and promotes their creations. The wide selection of products on the eStore comes from every corner of Pakistan, directly from the artisans, or businesses that work closely with or employ artisan groups, to create beautiful products. The aim is to connect the artisans to the market directly so they can truly benefit by retaining the revenue from any sales of their products.

Through hunarkaar.com we hope to connect the different worlds of communities contained within Pakistan to create a significant change for its craftspeople.
