Artisan Story
The talented artisans at Johra & Bohra Handicrafts specialize in wrapped wire and metal craft, creating a wide range of products, including our popular wrapped wire Snowmen, Birds, and Angels. Khalil Ahmed, the business owner, started this venture out of necessity 8 years ago with his three brothers. After partnering with a local NGO and embracing fair trade principles, Khalil has since been able to provide steady work, fair wages, and good working conditions for his 10 employees.
How It's Made: The process of making wrapped wire products starts with a metal form that is soldered together by the artisans. Once the form is approved, the artisans wrap the wire around the frame to create the desired shape and final product. Each piece can be dipped in various colors to create vibrant and unique decor items.
In addition to our wrapped wire products, these artisans also make our best-selling Flex Bowls. Their skilled hands wrap the wire and bend metal to form flexible bowls, perfect for holding fruits, cookies, breads, and more.
Mira Fair Trade was founded in 2008 by Meera Viswanathan to help artisans earn fair wages and preserve dying arts and crafts. By partnering with the Fair Trade Federation and community organizations, Mira Fair Trade empowers women and underprivileged artisans, promoting long-term sustainability and economic independence through the Fair Trade model. They offer customers a wide variety of eclectic and unique home decor products made ethically with many recycled materials.
