Thoughtfully Selected Gift Sets That Tell a Story
Ditch the generic corporate hampers. We combine handcrafted Channapatna wood and natural textiles into sets that carry the heart of our makers and the warmth of a story.
Where style meets substance. This gift combines a soft cotton stole with beautiful block prints, presented in a handcrafted wooden heirloom box. The box can be reused, making this a gift that keeps on giving.

About this collection
Every set is assembled by hand using reusable cotton potli pouches or wooden boxes instead of plastic. It is our way of ensuring that the gift you give is as kind to the planet as it is to the person receiving it, bringing home a piece of 200-year-old lac-turnery tradition.
Whether you are looking for corporate gifts that align with your sustainability goals or a festive hamper that stands out, our sets focus on the narratives behind the objects. We work with Aale Mara wood, finished with natural vegetable dyes, and pair them with handloom textiles.
For corporate clients, we include a story card detailing the craft heritage, turning a simple exchange into a cultural conversation. We do not believe in mass-produced plastic. We believe in the quiet beauty of wood, fabric, and hand-turned lacquer.
Our sets range from desk essentials for employees to luxury collector sets for partners. We can add custom branding to the packaging and include personalized notes. This ensures your message remains intact while directly supporting the livelihoods of the makers we work with in Channapatna, Auroville, and Tamil Nadu. If you are ordering in bulk, reach out to discuss how we can adapt these sets to your specific needs.
