Discover India through its makers, brands and craftsmanship
Every handmade piece deserves hands that understand it.
A torn pallu, a chipped idol, a rug that’s lost its weave — send it to craftspeople trained in the exact tradition it came from. Start with a free video consultation; nothing is touched until you approve the quote.
"My grandmother's Kanjeevaram had a tear at the pallu. They matched the zari by hand — you genuinely cannot tell it was ever damaged."

What we repair
If it was made by hand, we can likely mend it.
Each category is matched to a specialist trained in that exact craft — a Kalamkari tear goes to a Kalamkari restorer, not a generalist with a sewing kit.
Textiles & Shawls
Tears, moth damage, zari and embroidery repair, reweaving a worn edge.
Rugs & Carpets
Reweaving, edge and fringe binding, colour and pile restoration.
Wall Art & Paintings
Canvas, Pichwai, Tanjore and miniature works — tears, flaking, re-gilding.
Sculpture & Idols
Stone, bronze, wood and clay — chips, cracks and clean breaks.
Furniture & Woodwork
Joinery, inlay, polish and structural repair, true to the original piece.
Jewellery & Metalwork
Re-plating, stone resetting, clasp repair, filigree and enamel work.
Ceramics & Pottery
Traditional and kintsugi-style mending — the repair becomes part of the piece.
Leather & Bags
Stitching, handles, hardware and dye restoration on bags, belts and footwear.

Questions, answered honestly
Before you book.
Will you tell me the cost before starting?
Yes, always — after the video call, before any work begins. Nothing is touched without your approval.
What if my piece can't be repaired?
We’ll tell you honestly on the call. Some damage is better left as character than disguised, and we won’t recommend a repair that isn’t worth doing.
Is the shipping really free?
Yes, both ways, fully insured, for every piece accepted into a repair after your consultation.
What if it's damaged further in transit?
It’s insured door to door for its full assessed value — not just the cost of the repair.
Do I need an Object Passport to send something in?
No. Any handmade item can be sent in, passport or not. If it already has one, the repair is added to its history automatically.
How long does a repair take?
Most pieces: two to four weeks, depending on craft and extent of damage. Your specialist gives you an exact timeline with the quote.
Can I track where my piece is?
Yes — from pickup to return, the same way you’d track an order.
