My Story
Hey, we’re Varnam. Craft’s our heartbeat, not the algorithm. I started out dreaming music, ended up spinning stories with wood and colour. No fancy design degrees here, just memories—like amma’s old urga jaadis (pickle jars) and those Chettinad koodais (baskets) from temple runs. We make things that feel like home, not showroom. Walk into our Bangalore, Mysore, or Goa spaces, you’re not just shopping, you’re keeping a tradition alive. That’s what matters.
My Work
Handcrafted Products - We offer Channapatna toys, blockprint apparel, handcrafted ceramic spice jars, jewellery, and blockprint corporate gifts.
Minimal, Mindful Design - Our style’s simple—design whispers, never shouts. It’s in the curve, colour, and playful details.
Craft & Culture - We team up with artisans from Channapatna, Tamil Nadu, Auroville. Every piece has a story and a touch of heritage.
Meet Our Makers - You buy, you support folks like Hameed Mian and Pallavi. Real people, real craft, real impact.
Homes, Not Stores - Drop by our spaces in Bangalore, Mysore, Goa. Feel the craft, hang out, make it yours.
