The World’s Local Marketplace We have all walked into a market either locally or whilst traveling and wondered if the shopkeepers are honest and the products are of good quality. What if you were to walk into a local bazaar in the Middle East and knew with certainty that all of the products in each of the shops were of the best quality? The Saffron Souk is the digital version of this experience. Our platform empowers independent brands and micro and small enterprises - MSMEs by allowing them to focus on their craft and passion as we showcase their products to buyers around the world. So if you are in the market for an unusual piece of art for your project or a bespoke memento for your event, you will find curated collections of everything at The Saffron Souk, purveyors of treasures from local makers and merchants.

Candles & home fragrances

Lighting a candle just got a whole lot better. The candles are designed to purify the air as they burn using a custom wax blend of all-natural beeswax. Beeswax candles release negative ions, which neutralize pollutants such as mold spores, pollen, dander, odors, germs, dust and other nasty particles. Made by selected eco-friendly wicks, sustainable containers and premium fragrance oils, free of phthalates and parabens. The candles don’t just burn clean, they look great and smell amazing.

Streetscape 1
Based in Kolkata, Surajit Chakraborty is an established artist who has had a number of solo exhibitions. His nebulous cityscapes seem to float against a backdrop of understated yet luminous color, which shimmers even as it soothes and recedes. Space is defined with minimalist forms, etched into the surface with an evocative economy of thin lines; which sometimes

acquire a random, non-descriptive playfulness and combine with delicate arcs, arrows and triangles to build depth and focus into the composition. Surajit’s nightscapes with their mystical chiaroscuros of shattering light, are depicted with similar delicacy; but there is here a more assertive realism in the depiction of form and in the hazed vibrancy of colors. The Saffron Souk is able to commission art pieces from Mr Chakraborty.
