Made in Kolkata is a 80-page book by our good friend, Fiona Caufield, is an insider’s guide to the makers of India’s most soulful city Kolkata. It is a celebration of the city and the talented people who reside and work here. The highly curated guide profiles the city’s finest artists, artisans, craftspeople, designers, makers and shopkeepers who come together to produce and sell some extraordinary things. This journey to create the book took author Fiona Caulfield deep into the city, she traversed small lanes and out of the way neighbourhoods, headed inside tiny storefronts and up creaking staircases to seek out studios, workshops, on a quest to reveal Kolkata’s most authentic shopping experiences. Every entry has been personally visited and for each entry that made the book, another three or four did not.
And every time we pick up Fiona's beautiful and intimate books, we are reminded of a chance meeting with her one sunny, humid morning in Bangalore, having breakfast together and sharing stories of our love for India and vast travels throughout the country.
