In the heart of Indiranagar lies a treasure trove of colors, crafts, and stories — Varnam Craft Collective. If you’ve ever wanted a gift that feels rooted in Bengaluru yet timeless in charm, this space is an institution. From playful Channapatna toys to elegant home décor and handwoven fashion, Varnam is where Karnataka’s craft traditions find a contemporary twist.
🪀 Channapatna Magic, Reimagined
The highlight here is, of course, Channapatna-style toys and décor. Think spinning bugarees, bobble-headed dancers, and bottle openers shaped like tiny characters — each piece handcrafted with lacquer-wood detailing that Channapatna is famous for. These aren’t just for kids; they double up as quirky collectibles that brighten up any corner of your home.
🏡 Gifts with a Local Soul
Beyond toys, Varnam offers a range of home accents and lifestyle goodies:
Lamps with playful pops of lacquer.
Storage jars that double up as conversation starters.
Animal figurines, wall décor, and door accents — perfect for adding warmth and colour to your space.
If gifting is on your mind, you’ll walk out with something both thoughtful and rooted in craft.
👕 Style Meets Craft
And it doesn’t stop at décor. Varnam also showcases cotton shirts with cheeky prints, soft handwoven sarees, and jewellery inspired by Indian craft traditions. From wooden bangles to Bidri-inspired earrings, their pieces are wearable reminders of heritage done right.
