As with any tribal society, even the Konyak community is rich with indigenous knowledge, traditional skills and customary practises, which lend to and derive from their sense of identity and culture. One such marker is traditional handicrafts and handlooms, which are unique and different from other Naga tribes, but vary also within different clans of the Konyak tribe.

Handlooms and handicrafts manufactured in Mon are age-old and ingrained in the culture of the people. While most of the artisans practice the art at their household-level, some of them have been organised into artisan SHGs intended for commercial purposes. Handlooms and handicrafts from Nagaland are in demand in the domestic as well as the global market, as has been demonstrated by existing businesses/entrepreneurs.

The main/major products manufactured are – mekhalas (traditional wrap-around skirts), shawls, traditional handbags, beads ornaments, beads embellishments on mekhalas, bamboo baskets, brass/bell metal decorative items and blacksmithery items, woodwork and carpentry items, bamboo cup sets and mugs, cane furniture, brooms made from broom grass
