Crafting an Identity Rooted in the Hills
Tirthan Knots
Client : The Hans Foundation
A Self-Help Group of Women artisans in remote Himachal villages needed a brand identity that could bring their handcrafted products to a wider market.
Explanation of the Problem
In the remote regions of Himachal Pradesh, women self-help groups (SHGs) create beautiful handloom products using traditional techniques passed down through generations merged with modern technologies. While the craftsmanship was rich in heritage, there was no unified identity to represent their work in the market. The Hans Foundation aimed to support these artisans by providing them hand-holding and know-how required for competing in the commercial market.
The Hans Foundation also helped them come with a new umbrella brand under a single brand- Tirthan Knots.
This is where Tangio came in.
A rural world full of challenges:
However, the challenge was deeper than just creating a logo. The brand needed to reflect the women behind the craft, the tools they use, and the mountains they belong to, while also presenting itself in a way that could appeal to modern consumers.
A market flooded with commercial brands
How to bridge this gap
How do you build a brand that stays rooted in tradition, yet feels relevant in a modern marketplace?
The Vision
To create a brand identity that celebrates Himachal’s women artisans and their craft, while making it accessible and appealing to a wider audience.
Design Objectives
- Develop a meaningful and culturally rooted brand identity.
- Represent the artisans, their tools, and their environment visually.
- Create a logo that is simple, scalable, and memorable.
- Design packaging that feels modern yet authentic.
- Bridge the gap between rural craftsmanship and urban markets.
- The brand should also communicate its commercial and economic appeal.
What We Did
We went through the process of finding everything that resembles the work, the culture, the history and everything else and went on to amalgamate it into one strong identity. We went on with multiple trials through which we got the final outcome of the logo. Below is the entire breakdown of the logo:
We Also Did :
Visual Identity Development :
Integrated the identities of The Hans Foundation and Tirthan Knots seamlessly within the overall design system.
Packaging & Bag Design :
Designed paper bags and packaging that presented the products in a modern, market-ready way while retaining their cultural authenticity.
Outcome
Tirthan Knots now has a strong, meaningful identity that reflects its roots while being ready for modern markets. The logo captures the essence of Himachal’s hills, the artisans, and their craft, while the packaging design elevates how the products are presented. The result is a brand that not only sells products but also tells the story of the women and the tradition behind them.
