Shilp is a Hindi word that encompasses the artisanal spirit of hand-crafted goods. It translates to crafts, manual artistry and technique.
Shilp is grounded in our ethics and ideals. Decisions are made with an emphasis on the health and well-being of the artisans making our products, as well as the health of the planet. To achieve our goal of maintaining a small ecological footprint, we seek out ethical suppliers and products made with environmentally friendly practices. Material selection is focused on sustainability, including repurposed and upcycled sources.
Shilp’s founders wanted to merge their professional expertise with their personal values. They shared the desire to put their decades of product development and retail distribution experience to work in a way that connects small scale artisans with customers who value handmade quality.
