About us


A Better World in the Making
Since 2017

Fighting poverty through fair and ethical trade

Our Mission Statement: To empower small-scale artisans through long-term trading partnerships, helping them build sustainable employment, resources, rights, and a vision of hope in their communities.

We believe in:

  • Creating employment. Lakkadhaara works to provide employment opportunities to all artisans, regardless of gender, race, or religion. We also work to prevent child labor, instead making sure artisans' children stay in school and have brighter futures.

  • Paying fair wages. Artisans working with Lakkadhaara are paid fair wages in advance, to ensure they can support themselves and their families while they work.

  • Encouraging sustainable practices. Lakkadhaara cares about the planet, and encourages artisans to use sustainable crafting methods and recycled materials in their handcrafts. Here at home, we also use recycled cardboard shreds to pack our products for safe shipping.

  • Supporting community development. Lakkadhaara provides loans and donations to help build workshops, fund healthcare and education initiatives, recover from natural disasters, and additional community improvement projects as needed.

  • Preserving traditional crafting techniques. Lakkadhaara employs artisans who utilize traditional crafting methods, patterns, and materials to create their handcrafts. 

With your support, we can continue to combat poverty and work to help artisans build better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.

WE BELIEVE GOOD QUALITY & GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AREN'T MEASURED BY A PRICE TAG

Safety and quality are of the utmost importance to us. From the manufacturer to your doorstep, we go above and beyond what's legally required to ensure each product meets our high quality standards.

We don't believe great customer service is only found in a few large corporate brands, and Lakkadhaara will always go one step further to making sure the customer is satisfied with their shopping experience and product purchase.

We're small but we have big hearts, we actually care because we are the same as you. 

We hope you enjoy.

With love, the Lakkadhaara team.
