The Making of Crafte
Crafte has been the result of a lifelong journey of discovery. Of my beautiful Indian heritage - a glorious confluence of vibrant colour and sparkling spirit; my passion for all things handcrafted; and the inspiring people and places that have inherently shaped me as a person. Along the way, I've found myself naturally drawn towards a more natural, sustainable lifestyle - an ethos of "less is more" and "slow fashion" have all appealed for various reasons.
Crafte for me then, is a medium through which I can share this beautiful culture and the myriad ways that make it truly spectacular. Here you'll find a curated selection of goods from the Indian subcontinent including textiles, home décor, jewellery, and accessories that are luxurious, vibrant, and evoke timeless joy.
Each Crafte item tells a unique, handcrafted story, celebrating extraordinary artisanal skill through traditional techniques and designs - reimagined and repurposed for a modern aesthetic and sensibility.
From handloom weaving, blockprinting, and eco-printing, to products aimed at enhancing wellness and for rituals, there's something for everyone seeking everyday luxury and eclectic style for their home and personal use.
But these products are only as good as their makers. I've tried to make a conscious effort to showcase creators and brands - many of them women - that champion sustainable, ethical production processes, creating in small batches with local artisans - again, many of them women - thus supporting and empowering local communities and livelihoods.
I hope, while browsing through Crafte that you too find something that truly speaks to your heart.
