Why Dastkaari?
- No Mass Production: Each piece is individually hand-painted by me. While factories can churn out thousands of identical items, I create small batches (a maximum of 5) where every kettle has its own personality.
- Keeping Traditions Alive: Truck art painting and decorative metalwork are fading crafts. By purchasing from Dastkaari, you're directly supporting the continuation of these centuries-old artistic traditions.
- Cultural Bridge: I am trying to bring together Mughal Era Art and South Asian decorative arts, celebrating the heritage. Your kitchen becomes a gallery of global artistry.
- Functional Art Philosophy: At Dastkaari, we believe everyday objects deserve to be extraordinary. Why should art only hang on walls? Your tea kettle, coffee pot, and pet bowl can be masterpieces too.
- Tested at Pop-Ups: Before listing online, our designs are tested at in-person events across the DMV. Real customers have held, used, and loved these pieces - this isn't untested e-commerce inventory.
- From Our Hands to Your Home: There are no middlemen, no factories, no distributors. I paint it, package it, and ship it directly to you. You're supporting an independent muslim woman artisan, not a corporation.
Our Promise: Every Dastkaari piece is made with the care and attention we'd give to items in our own home. If it's not beautiful enough to make you smile when you see it and use it, it doesn't leave our studio.
