OUR COLLECTIONS

Working with different clusters and artisans at a time, we are not into bulk production. Each handmade product along with its charm comes with a lot of trial & error, depends on climatic conditions, availability of raw materials and so on. So as opposed to usual run-off the mill kind, we will not have more than 2-3 pieces of the same, color changes etc.
