About Shastra

What is Shastra?
Shastra Inc. was formed in 2000, with the purpose of using Indian handcrafting techniques to create products that appeal to a global market.  We design our collection keeping in mind western preferences and sustainability to suit modern-day lifestyles.  By doing so, we seek to deliver high quality, well thought out designs that offer form and functionality.  Our products are manufactured in small batches so we can monitor every aspect of production and ensure that the creators are being empowered and their lives are enriched.  We have a non-profit entirely dedicated to this cause, called Living Dreams Foundation, for more information contact us at contact@shastrahome.com

How does Shastra curate products?
We have a team of designers and crafters who continusously work together to develop and produce new products.  In doing so, we are guided by three basic principles: 

  • hand crafting and preservation of age-old production techniques
  • sustainable processes geared towards conservation
  • programs leading to artisan empowerment
