Meet the Artisans

Every Harit Story piece is made by hand, by real people with real names, real workshops, and generations of craft behind them. Here are a few of the artisan partners whose work fills our shelves.

Terracotta Potters of Shantiniketan

Wood-fired clay bowls and lamps, thrown by hand using techniques passed down through generations of Bengal potters.

Kantha Embroidery Collective

A women-led collective stitching traditional running-stitch Kantha textiles, reworking old cloth into new heirlooms.

Moradabad Brass Metalsmiths

Master metalworkers hand-carving copper-inlay diyas and brassware using centuries-old filigree techniques.

Our Sustainability Promise

Sustainability isn't a marketing line for us — it shapes what we choose to sell and how we ship it.

Plastic-Free Packaging

Every order ships in biodegradable, recycled or reusable materials.

Natural Materials First

Clay, jute, bamboo, seagrass and Lokta paper over synthetic alternatives.

Fair Artisan Wages

We work directly with makers, cutting out middlemen who undercut fair pay.

Made to Last

We choose durable, repairable pieces over disposable décor.

Sustainable Living Tips

Small everyday swaps that add up — a few ideas from our team to bring a little more of a slow, sustainable rhythm home.

Swap plastic wrap for beeswax cloth or a bowl cover

A reusable cloth wrap lasts a year or more and keeps food fresh without the single-use plastic.

Choose one handcrafted piece over three mass-produced ones

Fewer, better-made things mean less landfill and more items you'll actually keep for years.

Reuse gift wrap and hamper boxes

Our hamper boxes and Lokta paper wraps are sturdy enough to reuse for storage or re-gifting.
