About Us
"It is amazing what a woman can do if she ingnores what men tell her she can't".. Carol K. Karr
Many have asked me why "stoles"? My answer to them would be that it is a very interesting Fashion Accessory to uplift any outfit. It also has a very strong western connect. And here is the bridge with the modern Indian woman. These days with more women in the professional sphere, dressing smart is a necessity! ArtEastri handcrafted stoles for women are meant for smart dressers. I am of Bengali origin but have also spent a larger part of my life in Assam where weaving is a part of life for many households. Our Ahimsa Silk Stole Range brings in the flavours of Assam. The name of my brand "ArtEastri" says it all - art forms from the East crafted mostly by women ( Stri in Hindi means a "woman"), being sold through a venture started by a woman!

From just 20 stoles in our kitty and just me as the sole warrior in 2016, today, ArtEastri has a social footprint of more than 50 artisans under craft cluster heads in Bengal. We have diversified our product range, as well. You will find interesting Dupattas, Home accessories and Tribal jewellery. We are still growing, and still experimenting .
