Who We Work With

We partner directly with manufacturers and artisans—preferably in or around Jaipur, Rajasthan. We do not work with exporters, agents, or third-party quality control agencies.

Our strongest interest is in solid wood furniture, particularly mango wood, and mixed-material designs such as:

  • Wood combined with brass or copper inlay
  • Metal bases and accents
  • Stone or marble tops
  • Rattan and cane work
  • Embossed or etched metal details

How the Partnership Works

  1. You manufacture products to our drawings and specifications.
  2. You ship only to our Jaipur factory and fulfilment centre (never directly to overseas customers).
  3. We handle the rest: finishing and polish, in-house quality control, barcoding, and certification.
  4. We then ship the finished goods to our own fulfilment centres across the UK, EU (Germany & Spain hubs), US (East & West), Canada, and Australia for local distribution.

In short: you supply well-made cores and components; we manage finishing, compliance, and international logistics.
