STORY BEHIND THIS CRAFT
The tradition of crafting with golden grass, locally known as kaincha, is a centuries-old practice deeply rooted in the rural communities of coastal Odisha. This naturally golden-hued grass, found abundantly in marshy and riverine areas, has long been used by local artisans—especially women—for weaving baskets, mats, and household items.
Over time, this humble village craft evolved into a recognized art form, with artisans creating handwoven handbags, accessories, and lifestyle products that marry functionality with eco-conscious style. The craft is particularly practiced in districts like Kendrapara and Bhadrak, where seasonal harvesting and hand-processing of the grass are done entirely by hand using traditional tools.
Golden grass is not just valued for its beauty—it is biodegradable, renewable, and lightweight, making it a natural alternative to synthetic materials. The weaving process itself is slow and skill-intensive, requiring careful drying, softening, and hand-twisting of each fiber into sturdy, elegant forms.
Today, golden grass craft stands as a proud symbol of sustainable rural livelihood and heritage preservation. These handwoven handbags are not mass-manufactured—they are authentic expressions of Odisha’s eco-artisan spirit, blending nature, tradition, and craftsmanship into a product that tells a story with every strand.
