Who we are
Objects made slowly, by hands you can name.
We work directly with 54 artisan families across Tamil Nadu. They set their price; we add our margin openly, and their name goes on the tag.
Brass lamps from Nachiarkoil, terracotta from Manamadurai and palm baskets from Ramanathapuram, for homes that like a story. Curated return-gift hampers from ₹450 a guest, packed in cloth and palm leaf.

What we stand for
Three things we will not change
The artisan sets the price
Each maker names their own price. We add our margin on top, openly, and the split is printed on the tag.
Paid before we ship
We pay artisans when we collect their work, not when it sells, so they are never waiting on us.
No plastic
Everything is packed in cloth, cotton waste and paper. Nothing you unwrap needs to go in the bin.
Gifting for weddings and housewarmings.
Curated return-gift hampers from ₹450 a guest, packed in cloth and palm leaf.

What customers say
Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.
The annam lamp is even heavier and more beautiful in person. I love that I know who made it.
We ordered 120 return gifts for a housewarming. Each hamper was wrapped in cloth and arrived intact.
The kora basket is the most used thing in my flat. It has held up to two years of daily use.
