Our Story - About Our Company, Alif Handicrafts
At Alif Handicrafts, our story is about family, tradition, and beautiful handmade things. Our company started in 1976 in a small town called Anjar, in India. Our founder, Mr. Iliyas Abdullah Khatri, loved the traditional crafts of our culture.
He wanted to keep them alive, so he started Alif Handicrafts.
Mr. Iliyas worked hard to make Alif Handicrafts a place where we make special handmade clothes and fabrics. In 1990,
Mr. Iliyas's son, Mr. Abdul Rashid Khatri, took over the company. He kept his father's dream alive and made Alif Handicrafts even better.
Now, Mr. Abdul Rashid leads our company with his son, Mr. Kaif Khatri. We still make beautiful clothes and fabrics, just like Mr. Iliyas wanted. Our goal is to keep our culture alive and help our community by making handmade things.
At Alif Handicrafts, we're proud of our history and the special things we make. We hope you'll join us and be part of our story!
