What is Patthar?
Patthar is a home decor brand that celebrates the beauty of handcrafted stone products, blending tradition with modern aesthetics. Born from a deep respect for artisans and their craft, Patthar is committed to creating timeless decor pieces that bring warmth and sophistication to your home.
Significance of 'Patthar'
In Hindi, "Patthar" means "stone"—a simple yet powerful symbol of endurance, strength, and timelessness. At Patthar, our name pays homage to the artisans who carve life into stone and the enduring legacy of this craft. The grey Palewa stone embodies grounded resilience, while the white Alabaster reflects purity and elegance. Together, these stones tell a story of contrasts—of tradition meeting modernity, and simplicity embracing sophistication.
Beyond just being a name, Patthar is a promise: a commitment to fair trade, sustainability, and empowering the artisans whose skilled hands shape each unique piece. We are proud to bring Fair Trade products to India, ensuring every item you purchase not only decorates your home but also uplifts communities.
At Patthar, we proudly uphold the 10 Principles of Fair Trade, ensuring ethical sourcing, sustainability, and no child labor. Our products are handcrafted by artisans in Agra, using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
