About Etikoppaka Wood Lacquer Crafts

A feast to the eyes – are stunningly colourful wood lacquer-ware from Padmavathi Associates of Etikoppaka, a small village near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. See our complete product range here.

We are working to keep alive a traditional craft and sustain scores of craftsperson's and their families involved in the making of these beautiful novelties, toys and utilities. We from Etikoppaka are simply a class apart from other similar wood crafts.

NON-TOXIC VEGETABLE DYE : One chief difference is that we use richly colourful NON-TOXIC plant and vegetable dyes only. No synthetic dyes are used. Richly colourful, eco friendly.

QUALITY CONTROL : Also unlike most handicrafts, we are produced with a modern industry-like emphasis on high quality - we reject innumerable pieces produced by our crafts persons before bringing to you the pieces that you can buy!

CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS : We encourage our crafts persons to try new designs – unlike most traditional crafts, we do not stick to producing only a few designs passed on from generation to generation. We make efforts to come up with new designs suitable for contemporary living and are open to trying out new designs from any creative person, within the limitations of the craft.
