Rooted in Varanasi, Reaching the World
At Shop In Souk, we don’t just create bags—we craft legacies, woven with tradition and designed for the world.
A proud venture of The Custom Made, our journey began in 2017, rooted in the heart of Varanasi, where craftsmanship is a way of life. What started as a small workshop creating handmade jute bags soon transformed into a brand with a mission.
In 2019, inspired by India’s “Say No to Plastic” initiative, The Custom Made took a bold step forward, expanding across India with a commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly alternatives. Our vision became clearer— to replace plastic with natural, biodegradable materials and promote skill-based artisanship.
As our handcrafted jute and canvas bags gained recognition nationwide, so did our responsibility to take this movement beyond borders.
Now, in 2025, we introduce Shop In Souk—a global extension of our mission, dedicated to bringing India’s artisanal heritage to international markets.
More than just a brand, Shop In Souk is a symbol of conscious craftsmanship, delivering customized jute and canvas bags tailored for corporate events, weddings, seminars, universities, and businesses worldwide.
Each of our products tells a story—a story of handwoven patience, sustainable innovation, and timeless elegance. From juco (jute + cotton) blends to premium eco-friendly fibers, we offer personalized, high-quality branding solutions while staying true to our roots. With in-house manufacturing, a skilled artisan community, and a commitment to sustainability, we ensure that every stitch, every print, and every detail reflects the essence of a greener, plastic-free future.
At Shop In Souk, our vision is to create a world where craftsmanship, sustainability, and empowerment go hand in hand. Rooted in Indian culture and tradition, we strive to revive and support artisans by promoting skill-based craftsmanship and preserving agri-based, natural fiber products.
We believe in crafting durable, multi-purpose, and reusable products that are not only functional but also a statement of eco-conscious living. By blending tradition with modern design, we aspire to bring India’s artisanal heritage to global markets while fostering an environment that values sustainability, quality, and ethical production.
At the core of Shop In Souk is a mission to reduce carbon footprints and minimize environmental stress through responsible and sustainable manufacturing. Our goal is to build an eco-friendly society and conscious communities by offering alternatives to plastic and non-biodegradable materials.
We are dedicated to sustainable development, ensuring that every product we create aligns with our promise of environmental responsibility. By using natural fibers, eco-friendly materials, and ethical production methods, we contribute to a greener, cleaner future—one bag at a time.
