Masala bazaar started seven years ago when I was looking for a creative outlet. Candlemaking caught my eye and since then not only have I taught myself the science of candlemaking, I've perfected it so much that my team now teach over 30 people in just one evening how to make candles! Masala Bazaar is all about making crafting, science and creativity accessible and easy - just like artisans

I had a vision to create a community that supports slow artisanal craft and creates rather than consumes is how Masala Bazaar came to be.

A bazaar is somewhere to shop handmade, or make something of your own. One where each item is a labour of love (pyaar) from the hands of the artisans to your home.

In our bazaar, you can find us pouring our own candles, curating fabrics, art and ceramics from artisans in India and Pakistan as well as handcrafted products from South Asian owned brands in Aotearoa.

And just like a bazaar, we have a Karigar Lane (artisan street), a space curated with textiles, paints, art and scent to allow anyone to be an artisan. Karigar Lane recreates the energy of a bazaar, alive with laughter, crafts and chai late into the night.

Can’t wait to be part of our bazaar?
