The Journey Begins: Anneka and Dave’s 2026 Buying Journey in Delhi

The Journey Begins: Anneka and Dave’s 2026 Buying Journey in Delhi

Anneka and Dave have officially kicked off their 2026 buying journey, beginning in the vibrant and ever-inspiring city of Delhi.

Their first days have been filled with exploration, connection, and a deep dive into the craftsmanship that defines so many of the pieces you’ll soon see at the bazaar. From early mornings to bustling afternoons, they’ve been meeting with skilled artisans, discovering new techniques, and sourcing beautiful, thoughtfully made goods.

One highlight of their time in Delhi has been exploring new leather bag collections. They’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand how factories are evolving—blending traditional craftsmanship with modern improvements—while still maintaining the integrity of handmade work. Watching a craftsman carefully hand-hammer hardware onto a bag strap was a powerful reminder that every detail matters, and that behind each piece is a story of patience, precision, and pride. 

They also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Satish, an artisan dedicated to creating imaginative children’s enrichment toys. His work reflects not only creativity but a deep commitment to learning and development through play. Seeing his process up close gave Anneka and Dave a renewed appreciation for the intention and care that goes into each handcrafted item.


Beyond the workshops, the energy of Delhi has been just as inspiring. The lively streets of Paharganj offered a colorful and dynamic backdrop to their days—full of movement, culture, and endless moments of discovery.

This is just the beginning of their journey. As they continue on to new destinations, they’ll be meeting more incredible makers, uncovering unique pieces, and building the relationships that make One World Bazaar so special.
