Our Artisans

The hands behind each piece

Our collections grow from long relationships with artisan partners in India. Their skill, patience and knowledge are part of every piece we make.

Printed by hand in Jaipur

In Sanganer, fabric is hand block printed one impression at a time. The printer places and repeats each carved block with care. Small variations are part of the character of this process.

Stitched with care

Women artisans bring our quilts and kantha textiles to life through hand stitching. Tailors shape and finish garments and home pieces. These are skills practised over years and shared across families and generations.

Small batches. Human hands.

Our work moves between Jaipur and Noida, with final checking and packing in Noida. We value the people behind the process and the time that good work takes.
