OUR STORY
It all began, as the best things do, over a cup of chai.
While planning a neighborhood Diwali soirée, we hit a wall — a wall of mismatched, low-quality décor from countless Amazon sellers with endless shipping times.
It was our favorite season — sparkle in the air, sweets on the table, and the perfect excuse to buy too many fairy lights — yet nothing felt quite right. The décor was always too blingy, too bland, or simply too uninspired.
So we did what any two design-obsessed women would do: Start a business. Build a mission.
But first — we got on a plane.
We flew to India, zig-zagged through alleys, knocked on workshop doors, drank way too much chai, and met with some of the most incredible artisans keeping centuries-old crafts alive. The goal? To create Diwali décor that wasn’t just beautiful —but meaningful. Handmade, high quality, and full of soul that brought these artisans to the forefront.
We’re talking block printing. Hand-set kundans. Vintage brass detailing. The real deal.
And yes — we did pack an extra suitcase. For research purposes, of course!
Enter: The Diwali Shop ✨
Chic, design-forward décor rooted in tradition, made for modern celebrations. Pieces that elevate your home and your tablescape, season after season.
We partner with artisan collectives — many women-led — to provide fair wages, training, and meaningful work. Because empowering women strengthens communities, one craft at a time.
We believe in culture without compromise, style without shortcuts, and honoring the hands that make it all possible.
This is Diwali, reimagined — with elegance, intention, and a whole lot of love.
With love & light,
Sangeeta & Dhwani
