Craft Stories is a design-led collaboration with artisan clusters in India. We create contemporary personal and home accessories that blend traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic and sustainable design ethos.
Celebrating the much overlooked 'Indian Minimalism', influenced by our love for Bauhaus and Mid-century Modern aesthetics, our designs are both culturally nuanced and forward-looking at the same time.
Through our collections, we aim to promote the work of Indian artisans and in some way, help to revive fading artistic traditions. And by bringing them to international markets, we hope to create opportunities, so artisans don’t have to leave their crafts in pursuit of adequate income elsewhere.
Featured in the Wallpaper* magazine and Forbes, we currently retail from some of the leading museums and boutique stores in the US.
We subscribe to Fair Trade Principles and are proud members of Nest (buildanest.org).
