Orders & Shipping

How long does delivery take?

Each item is handcrafted to order. Crafting begins after you place your order and takes 3–4 working days. Shipping typically takes an additional 3–5 working days depending on your location. You will receive a tracking link once dispatched.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes! We offer free shipping on all orders above ₹999. A flat shipping charge applies to orders below this amount.

Can I cancel or modify my order?

Since every piece is made to order, we can only accept cancellations or modifications within 24 hours of placing the order. Please contact us immediately at office@crochiah.in or WhatsApp us at +91 72000 33566.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept UPI (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm), debit/credit cards, and net banking — all secured through our checkout. WhatsApp us at +91 72000 33566 if you need any help with payment.

Products & Sizing

What size should I order?

Please refer to the Size Guide on each product page. Crochet fabric has a natural stretch, so if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a comfortable fit. Still unsure? WhatsApp us at +91 72000 33566 with your measurements and we will advise you directly.

Are the products truly handmade?

Absolutely. Every single piece is 100% handcrafted by skilled women artisans from Narsapuram, Andhra Pradesh — home of India’s GI-tagged crochet heritage. No machines are used at any stage. Each item may have slight natural variations in pattern or colour — this is the hallmark of genuine handmade craft, not a defect.

How do I care for my crochet product?
  • Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent.
  • Lay flat to dry in shade — do not bleach, wring, or tumble dry.
  • Gently comb tassels with fingers once dry to maintain shape.
  • Store folded, not hung, to preserve the crochet structure.
Can I request a custom size or colour?

Yes! Since every piece is handmade to order, custom sizing is available on most products. Please WhatsApp us at +91 72000 33566 or email office@crochiah.in with your requirements before placing your order. Bulk and wholesale inquiries are also welcome.

Brand & Heritage

What is a GI tag and why does it matter?

A Geographical Indication (GI) tag is India’s official government certification that a product originates from a specific region and possesses qualities or a reputation attributable to that origin. Narsapuram Lace Crochet holds this certification — meaning the crochet tradition is legally recognised as a cultural heritage of the Narsapuram region of Andhra Pradesh. When you buy from Crochiah, you are buying a product that is authenticated by the Government of India.

Was Crochiah mentioned in Mann Ki Baat?

Yes. On 28 December 2025, PM Narendra Modi specifically highlighted Narsapuram’s crochet craft on his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, calling it “a prime example of women-led economic empowerment and cultural continuity.” Crochiah is rooted in this exact tradition — every piece we make comes from the same artisan community PM Modi spoke about.

Who are the artisans behind Crochiah?

Crochiah works directly with women artisans from the Narsapuram and surrounding Godavari region of Andhra Pradesh. These women have inherited the crochet craft through generations — it is not a learned skill but a living tradition passed down from mother to daughter. By purchasing from Crochiah, you are ensuring that the artisan who made your piece receives a fair, direct wage with no middlemen involved.
