At Masala Bazaar tradition, slow fashion and creativity intertwine.

We honor the hands that shape our world by curating artisan-made treasures

From hand woven Indian cotton, sculpted Sindhi ceramics and natural Arab oud.

Each piece is a story passed from hand to hand.

Each piece is created through skilled craftsmanship preserved through generations.

Each piece transcends borders and unites us.

Today, across the world the value of artisanal craftsmanship is being lost to fast fashion. We challenge the culture of mass manufacturing that harms our planet at the expense of our artisans.

From Ajrak's deep indigos to Tatreez's intricate stitches, each of our pieces serve a reminder that art is the thread of resistance that ties us together.

Together - we can protect the environment, champion handmade, and empower artisans by creating, consuming and celebrating art that stands the test of time.

Meet Our Local Creators

Masala Bazaar was born in 2020 out of a desire to build a meaningful and much needed artisan community in Aotearoa. One that connects entrepreneurs to one another, to bigger opportunities and to customers who champion their work.

We are a community that goes beyond individual experiences, championing those who dare to create, dream and challenge the status quo. We celebrate the stories woven into every handcrafted piece.

Together we break free from systemic barriers, uplift one another and flourish.

Find Us In Parnell
