Why these gifts

Natural, reusable materials and plastic-free packing wherever possible.
Every piece is made by small craft communities, who are paid fairly for their work.

Why cruelty-free
A single silk sari can take thousands of silkworms, boiled alive in their cocoons. Leather comes from cattle sent to slaughter once they stop giving milk. Beeswax is taken from the hive that made it. This Diwali, your gift can celebrate every life instead of costing one.
Why sustainable
Plastic hampers, foil wrap and gadgets used once are discarded within weeks of Diwali, while the forests and rivers that animals depend on absorb the cost. Every piece in this collection is made to be used for years, from materials that return to the earth.
Made by local artisans
Machine-made gifts are pushing India's craft families out of work. Every box you order is fair, steady pay for artisans in the busiest season of their year, and a reason for the next generation to learn the craft.
