the journey.

“In a gentle way, you can sha ke the world.”

Gandhi

THE TRADITION of artisanal crafts in India is deeply rooted in the culture and lifestyleof its people. The techniques of these artisan groups that have been passed down for generations are worth preserving. Our collections focus on exploring these age-old design forms and contemporizing them. My vision for Mela Artisans is to establish a unique brand with purpose and to replicate that model across continents.
