Ishq Mask Gift Box

The Ishq Mask Gift Box is a fair trade coming together of makers & artists from around the world to provide you sustainable healing.

The Ishq Mask Gift Box is a very special project that took 6 months to complete. It provided the artists & makers with a fair trade living wage during Covid.

Working with them was a joy & honor and I am very excited to share these beauties with you.

This one of a kind, limited edition collector’s gift comes with:

• 2 Ishq Organic Skincare products of your choice, one being an Ishq Organic Mask
• 1 Ivory wood bowl & spoon handcrafted by World famous toy makers from Channapatna, a small town in Southern India
• 1 mini dried flower bouquet from Cartwheel Community Farm in Portland, Oregon
• A reusable bag hand sewn by women in a slum in Bangalore, India

 You can read more about them here.

A Little bit about The Box:

• To have Ishq Gift Boxes handcrafted by Channapatna artists is a source of pride for us
• Channapatna is a small town in rural Southern India. These artists are famous world over for their handcrafted, brightly painted toys. Over the past decade lack of local support and influx of cheap knockoffs from China almost annihilated this wonderfully unique industry
• The boxes are handcrafted with sustainably sourced pine wood

 The Art work:

• Your Ishq Mask Gift Box is a piece of art
• Aravani Art Project brings about change in the way society views the Trans community-using art as an important tool to bridge the gap
• Based in Bangalore, India, this collective works with Transgender people from lower economic backgrounds
• While the visibility of Transgender folx is increasing in popular culture and daily life, they still face severe discrimination, stigma and systemic inequality
• Your Ishq Mask Gift Set is hand painted by Transgender folx with a deep vibrancy that feels like a window into their souls
• We at Ishq Skincare are very humbled to be allowed on this journey of empowerment
