Every piece in this shop was made by hand by someone. Where we know who, we say so — these are the makers whose work fills the catalogue, and what each of them actually makes.

Kareem Art

Stone carving — marble and soapstone · 44 pieces in the shop · $25–$850

The largest body of work in the shop. Figurines, hair clips and barrettes, necklaces, incense holders and bowls, cut and finished by hand in marble and soapstone. Soapstone is soft enough to scratch with a fingernail, which is exactly why the jali lattice work on the incense holders is possible at all.

Mostly figurine, hair accessory, necklace, incense holder. See everything by Kareem Art →

Nasir Mansuri

Gemstone and crystal work · 21 pieces in the shop · $110–$550

Natural gemstone and crystal bracelets, lab certified and reported, alongside leather-bound journals and wall pieces. In crystal tradition each stone carries its own association; the certificates say what the stones actually are.

Mostly bracelet, wall decor, clock, stationery. See everything by Nasir Mansuri →

Beed Art

Hand-woven glass seed beadwork · 13 pieces in the shop · $500–$550

A specialist. Every piece is a necklace and earring set woven from fine glass seed beads, without a fabric base — the structure is the weave itself. Hundreds of beads to a panel, placed one at a time.

Mostly necklace. See everything by Beed Art →

Auro Dhanam

Hand-poured candles and incense · 12 pieces in the shop · $40–$200

Scented candles poured by hand in small batches, with the colour worked through the wax rather than painted on, plus natural incense.

Mostly candle, incense. See everything by Auro Dhanam →

Shamim Hussain

Driftwood lighting · 3 pieces in the shop · $1,100

Table lamps built around found driftwood. Each lamp is shaped by the piece of wood it came from, so no two share a height or a line.

Mostly lamp. See everything by Shamim Hussain →

Pieces we haven't credited yet

29 pieces — mostly wall art, serveware, fridge magnet — are listed under our own name rather than a maker's. That isn't because nobody made them. It means we haven't yet confirmed with the artisan how they would like to be credited. We would rather leave a name off than put the wrong one on.

Why this page exists

Almost every shop selling handmade goods says "artisan-made". Very few can tell you who. The details above come from the pieces themselves — the materials, the techniques, the counts. If you want to know more about a particular maker before you buy, ask us and we will tell you what we know.
