Today we’d like to introduce you to Aditi Koranne.
Aditi, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I began crocheting in the summer of 2012 after my daughter was born. I found that I needed to learn a hobby to make something handmade for my daughter. Being a mom and wife is absolutely rewarding, but I still needed to find a way to be myself and do things that I truly enjoy. Crocheting is my way to stay at home and work with my daughter.
When I started posting pieces that I made to Facebook, I started getting orders from friends and family which led to the release of my Online shop. It has been such a blessing to watch my business grow organically!
Has it been a smooth road?
It has been a challenge to make people understand the effort that goes into creating something handmade. People love to compare the prices to the things that are machine made. I always hope that people can recognize that and understand that I’m a one-woman show, who manages everything from home that includes all the aspects of creating and marketing.
I am trying to reinvent this old Crochet art and keeping this pretty “grandma” art alive. It’s important to show people that when they buy from a handmade artist they are buying hours of failures and experimentation. You are buying a part of someone’s life and supporting a dream.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Reallysocute story. Tell us more about the business.
My handmade store offers crocheted apparel for ages newborn and up. Each handcrafted item is made with care and to your specifications. All products are created in a smoke and animal free environment. I also take custom orders by color and different sizes. Each and every piece is entirely handmade with 101% dedication and devotion.
I am absolutely proud of the fact that I have been able to make something handmade that people will treasure for a long time.
I’m also proud to hear from others on a regular basis that I inspire them. Also, I love the fact that I can work on something that I really enjoy. Life is short. Do all you can to do what YOU want to do and be who YOU want to be. Make your creativity an important part of living.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I am looking forward to designing and introducing my handmade collection to several other platforms. Also, planning to launch my own website where people can buy directly from ReallySoCute.
You can currently shop my collection on Amazon, Etsy, Instagram, Facebook, and eBay:
