Shree - The Touch of India was born quite unexpectedly over a phone call between two people across India and the US. The idea was simple, but it tugged our hearts. It was to touch people around the world with products from India typically made by artisans from rural areas whose livelihoods depend on their crafts which they create with sincerity, passion, and relentless hard work. Every state in India is rich with its unique variety of products. Whether it’s about sarees or other garments, or about various handicrafts made from jute to bamboo to cotton to silk to clay or stone or wood…every corner has something unique to offer you.
Initially, it started with sarees from rural West Bengal where many gorgeous sarees are hand-made by artisans. A saree is a beautiful traditional Indian attire worn by women during formal and festive occasions as well as for day-to-day use. We then expanded our collection to include pashmina and blended shawls and stoles, hand-made crocheted jute bags, and a stunning variety of fashion jewelry including necklaces hand-made with beautiful stones, Rajasthani Rajwadi and antique jewelry, and South Indian Temple jewelry.
Our saree collection includes Kanchipuram silk sarees from the south, Paithani silk sarees from the west, Jamdani sarees from the east, Banarasi Katan sarees from the north and many other collections that include, Chanderi Silk, Kantha Stitch, Bangalore Silk, Tussar Silk, Kerala’s Kasavu, and so on. Currently, most of our silk sarees are blended and not 100% pure silk.
Our curated products are sourced from different parts of India with utmost love and care. Each product has the potential to make you a cynosure during festivals and celebrations so that you can feel happy carrying the versatile culture & tradition of India along with you.
At Shree – The Touch of India, we are also passionate about environmentally friendly green products. Towards that, we also have crocheted jute bags and accessories. Each jute item made by an artisan takes several days to knit. By making these jute items yours, you can also make a statement towards protecting our environment for current and future generations.
Shree - The Touch of India is an effort to bring focus on those creative artisans who rarely get the deserving credit for their skills. On our platform, you will not only get to see or buy a product, in due course you will also get to know the artisans who make them. Your every purchase will be an appreciation towards those artisans and our future vision is to have a certain percentage of the proceeds towards helping them sustain their creative work.
We will be delighted to have your comments and feedback to make us better and we will meticulously strive to listen and implement them. Shree – The Touch of India can stand only because of you.
We invite you to visit us often, especially during festivities and special occasions, or even just because you felt so, fall in love with our products, make them yours, and eventually make Shree – The Touch of India an inseparable part of your family. We look forward to serving your needs with love and care and with utmost humility, so that you feel and will continue to feel the very best.
