How Ordering Works
Place the order to lock in the design conversation, and a Maithil artisan‑coordinator will contact within 24–48 hours to confirm fabric, color, and hand‑painted motifs before taking payment. This ensures the piece is tailored to preference and meets our quality standards for authentic Mithila art.
After finalizing details, a fair, personalized price is offered—typically lower than the listed price—and payment is collected directly, saving an extra 2–3% by avoiding payment gateway fees. This model keeps costs transparent, supports fair wages, and lets more of the purchase reach the artisan community.
Our Vision
We reinvest every rupee to empower women and support our artisans. By prioritizing fair wages, safe conditions, and real opportunities, we drive positive change in our communities. When you support us, you choose fairness, empowerment, and sustainable growth for all.
