TRACEBILITY
We know who made it.
Not a fair-trade label standing in for a supply chain — the actual chain. For every product, we can name four things.
CRAFT
Dokra lost-wax casting
MATERIAL
Brass, locally sourced
PLACE
Bastar, Chhattisgarh
MAKER
Named, not anonymised
ONE PRODUCT SHOWN. EVERY PRODUCT ON THE SITE CARRIES ITS OWN CRAFT. MATERIAL. PLACE. MAKER
GOVERNANCE
How we check ourselves, and
who checks us.
Fair wage
Independent auditors check every artisan's income against India's highest wage benchmarks — not the legal minimum, the ceiling. Anonymised data is published and updated every twelve months.
NGO governance
Our partners work through established NGOs, who are themselves audited on financial transparency, conflict resolution, and community accountability. Someone other than us signs off.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Geography isolates artisans.We turned it into their advantage.
Craft corridors
Two-thousand-year-old lost-wax casting from Bastar. Four-and-a-half-thousand-year-old Warli painting from Maharashtra. One hamper draws from four states at once, spreading income and resilience with a single order.
Who's making it
Sixty percent of our artisan network is women — mountain weavers in Himachal, Warli painters in Maharashtra — paid at published, auditable rates. Artisans working past disability, seasonal roads, and gender norms.
ENVIRONMENT
When you make things with your hands, the planet shows up in the choice.
We use materials that come from the land they belong to. Brass from the earth. Clay that potters have shaped for generations. Cotton woven by hand. Beeswax. The energy footprint is small — a Dokra deer cast in Bastar doesn't need a factory, a Himalayan stole woven on a handloom uses no power.
And these objects last. The Dokra deer will be in someone's home for generations. The copper enamel holder will hold flame for decades.
THAT'S THE MOST SUSTAINABLE THING WE CAN DO. MAKE THINGS PEOPLE KEEP.
