The story behind this piece
Every herbal incense & dhoop box is made by hand by Kotwalia Craft Group, with no middleman standing between the maker and you.
Minor forest produce, processed and packed in the village instead of being sold raw at the forest gate.
Before this enterprise existed, the raw material behind this product left the village for a fraction of what you are paying — and the value addition happened somewhere else. That is the single thing this collection changes.
You are not making a donation. You are paying a fair market price to a producer who finally gets to set it.
How it's made
- 1Raw material collected or grown locally, in season.
- 2Processed or shaped entirely by hand in the village unit.

What your purchase changes
