/ Vendor Evaluation

Every order begins with a named artisan community.

Not a catalogue supplier. Not a trading intermediary. Each material family we source is tied to a specific community whose name, region, and craft tradition you can trace from the purchase order.

— Material Traceability

Seven material families. Seven named communities.

Wood from Saharanpur woodworkers. Clay from Khurja potters. Leather from Kolkata's heritage tannery clusters. We document the origin of every material before a single order is confirmed.

When your CSR report requires supply-chain disclosure, that documentation is already ours to share — not something we reconstruct after the fact.

• Hand-Finishing Variance

Variance is the proof, not the problem.

No two pieces are identical because no two finishing passes are identical. We document the expected variance range for every product line and share that specification with procurement teams before bulk orders are placed.

Direct revenue flows to the artisan community on each confirmed order — no intermediary margin extracted between the maker and the invoice.

Sourcing documentation ready before your first order.

Share your gifting brief — quantities, material preferences, CSR requirements — and we'll return a catalogue with full community-origin details attached.
