Uniquely Indian products
Meaning :
Unique Product means Product that is unique in nature,
customer-specific and cannot be resold by Supplier to
customers without major modification.
Unique product which is manufactured in India is called
uniquely Indian products.
What products are unique to India?
Each state in India has one or more products that are
unique to the place, such as bandhini products in
Gujarat, brass sculptures in Jharkhand, coconut shell
artefacts in Goa and coir products in Kerala. And
these unique products make for amazing souvenirs that
help you take beautiful memories back home from the
trip.
Bandhani products
Bandhani, one of the oldest known methods
of tie-dyeing, is still widely practiced in
western India today. The fabric is made by
pinching very small portions of cloth and
tying them by plucking the cloth with the
fingernails into many tiny bindings that
form a figurative design to form an intricate
pattern of dots.
Process of Bandhani dyeing
Bandhani is a method of binding small knots and dyeing
them in different colours to produce beautiful patterns.
This tying was normally done with fingernails for
making. But in some places of Rajasthan, craftsmen wear
a metal ring with a pointy nail to help plucking the cloth
easily.
Cashmere wool
Cashmere wool, usually simply known as cashmere, is
a fiber obtained from cashmere goats, pashmina goats,
and some other breeds of goat. It has been used to make
yarn, textiles and clothing for hundreds of years.
Cashmere is closely associated with the Kashmir shawl,
the word "cashmere" deriving from an anglicization of
Kashmir.
Sources Cashmere wool
Historically, fine-haired Cashmere goats have been called Capra
hircus laniger. Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that
consists of a fine, soft undercoat or underdown of hair mingled
with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called
guard hair. This undercoat is grown in the winter as a way to keep
the goat warm in colder months. For the fine underdown to be sold
and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a
mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine
hair.
Sandalwood Products
Sandalwood is a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum.
The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and, unlike many
other aromatic woods, they retain their fragrance for decades.
Sandalwood oil is extracted from the woods for use. Sandalwood is
often cited as one of the most expensive woods in the world. Both
the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been
highly valued for centuries. Consequently, some species of these
slow-growing trees have suffered over-harvesting in the past.
Production of Sandalwood Products
Producing commercially valuable sandalwood with high
levels of fragrance oils requires Indian sandalwood trees
to be a minimum of 15 years old – the yield, quality and
volume are still to be clearly understood. Yield of oil
tends to vary depending on the age and location of the
tree; usually, the older trees yield the highest oil content
and quality.
