Crafted by Communities. Built for the Planet.
Every product carries the story of the artisan who made it. We work directly with tribal communities in Jharkhand and Odisha — ensuring fair wages, preserving ancestral craft, and replacing plastics with natural, compostable materials.
The Hands Behind Every Product
We don't source from anonymous suppliers. We co-create with named communities, in named places.
Bondo & Gadaba Tribes
Koraput, Odisha
Discover the exquisite bamboo artefacts handcrafted by the Bondo and Gadaba tribes of Koraput, Odisha. Once known for their deep isolation, the Bondo community has woven its ancient wisdom and remarkable craftsmanship into beautiful, functional creations that tell a story of resilience and heritage. Every piece is more than just an artefact—it is a reflection of their innate skill, precision, and connection with nature. These eco-friendly treasures offer a premium alternative to mass-produced plastic products, making them safe, sustainable choices for your home and loved ones. By choosing these bamboo treasures, you not only embrace unique artistry but also support the livelihoods of one of India’s most culturally rich tribal communities.
Sustainability Note
Bamboo used by Bondo and Gadaba artisans is harvested from managed community forest plots. The plant regenerates in 3–5 years, sequesters significant carbon, and requires no pesticides or irrigation.
Mahli Tribe
Dumka, Jharkhand
The Mahli community of Dumka, Jharkhand, have been master weavers and basket-makers for centuries. Their deep knowledge of natural fiber handling — bamboo splitting, jute braiding, and water hyacinth coiling — produces everyday utility products of outstanding durability and beauty. Our partnership with the Mahli artisans in Dumka brings their work into urban homes and corporate gifting programmes, creating a steady, dignified livelihood that honours their craft.
Sustainability Note
Water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic plant that chokes waterways across Jharkhand, is harvested by Mahli artisans and transformed into high-value woven products — turning an ecological problem into economic opportunity.

Tata Steel Samvaad
Proudly participated in Tata Steel's Samvaad — the tribal art and culture event in Jamshedpur — showcasing the craft of our artisan communities.
Samvaad is one of the most respected tribal platforms in eastern India, bringing together artisans, policymakers, and corporates to celebrate and preserve indigenous culture. Our participation enabled the Mahli and Bondo artisans we work with to present their craft on a national stage — connecting their work with buyers, media, and cultural institutions who had never seen it before.
Events like Samvaad remind us why what we do matters: not just as a business, but as a bridge between heritage and the modern economy.
