Handicrafts, also known as artisanry, handcrafting, crafting, and handcraftsmanship, can be defined as unique artefacts representing the tradition, culture and heritage of a country. They include products which are prepared either entirely by hand or with the help of tools. Handicraft products can have different values including aesthetic, creative, decorative, traditional, utilitarian, artistic, functional, cultural, social and religious. They play a vital role in the economic development of a country as handicrafts are a prominent medium for foreign exchange revenue, require low capital investments and offer employment opportunities.

The origin of handicrafts cannot be pinpointed to an era or year as they are connected to the inception of a culture and tradition itself. However, decorative arts gained new appreciation with the initiation of the Arts and Crafts Movements which developed in the latter half of the 19th Century in Europe with a continuation by designers in North America. Subsequently, the movement emerged in the 1920s in Japan and was known as the Mingei movement. It had a significant effect in Europe until the 1930s when the movement was replaced by Modernism which defined various cultural trends and changes in western society during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century. With time, handicrafts also gained immense popularity and importance across the globe.

Rising travel and tourism in the region has attracted large number of international visitors offering many opportunities to local handicraft manufacturers to sell their products to tourists as they are willing to spend significant amount of money on souvenirs and other craft items.
