MELA ARTISANS is a luxury lifestyle brand that blends traditional handcrafting techniques with contemporary design. By working closely with our artisans, we create high quality products while promoting social uplift in their communities.

Free-spirited and adventurous, our collections are inspired by a global wanderlust. Innovatively combining the modern and the traditional, each piece tells a story: about master artisans fusing age-old techniques with contemporary style; about the small villages or the bustling cities of India that inspire our designs; and about our celebration of all things beautiful. Above all, it tells the story of our philosophy of respecting and empowering our artisans. Our fair trade practices provide a stable income for artisan families and enhanced well-being for entire communities.

By heart, by hand.
