Craft Maestros curates some of the finest handicrafts in India from the ateliers of master artisans across the length and breadth of the country. The eponymous ‘maestros’ of Craft Maestros are master craftspeople who have tirelessly and painstakingly mastered ancient techniques and skills over years to hone their talent. Of the 91 master crafts persons associated with us, three are Padmashree awardees, 11 are Shilp Guru, 66 National Award winners and 11 the most renowned artisans in their field. Each design that you buy from us represents a story – of craftsmanship perfected over centuries and preserved for generations to come. From Kutch weaves to Kilim rugs, from Thewa to Meenakari, from papier-mâché to terracotta pottery, there are currently 31 handicraft forms that we nurture, with many more being added steadily to our list. We offer the guarantee of authenticity and premium quality on each product as we deal directly and only with master craftspeople rather than intermediaries; our products are therefore available at price points that work for our community of artisans and for you.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the values embedded in the timeless crafts of India and through our work, we aim to preserve these invaluable traditions which keep us rooted in our soil and connected to our past. At Craft Maestros we work tirelessly to give a platform to artisans, who through their passion and labour keep alive these centuries-old crafts. They are the true vessels of cultural knowledge and deserving of every applause they receive. It is our mission to give their products of love and labour the rightful place in our homes and hearts.

Our Values

Craft Maestros as a team is built on values of preservation and reverence. Through our work, we preserve the cultural reservoir that our invaluable and diverse crafts form and our efforts are centred around spreading this joy to an audience who appreciates the stories captured in these exquisite artefacts. All our products come with a tag chronicling the history of the craft to share with our customers the legacy of our traditional crafts. At the same time, an art form becomes what it is only through the practised hand of its artist. At Craft Maestros, we believe in honouring the Maestros who with their time-tested wisdom and years of practice create these handicrafts which form our link to the larger society and act as a cultural heirloom passed onto us by our ancestors. To this end, we include a snippet about the artisan with each of our products to share with our customers, the hands that created these marvels and their tales.
