About us
About our online store
India is a beautiful assortment of diversity which is reflected in our Clothing, Food, Lifestyle, Language, Music, literature and everything associated with day-to-days life. There’s a Hindi saying illustrating the diversity of Indian culture: Kos kos pe badale pani, char kos pe vani(water properties change at every mile and dialect of people is different after every four miles). The history of art and crafts of India is as old as the human civilization itself which was proved by the discovery of fragments of woven and dyed cotton, needles made of bone, bronze statues and jwelleries, stone sculptures, terra-cotta figurines and beautiful pottery at Mohen-jo-daro and Harappa cities of ancient Indus valley civilization. Shilphaat.com is a small endeavor into preservation of this rich legacy of Indian art and craft.
Why the name Shilphaat?
It is carefully chosen name to represent the type of products we want to bring our customers.
Shilp means beautiful/useful creation or craft
Haat means a market, especially the one that held on a regular basis in rural areas selling daily chore utilities.
Hence the name means beautifully crafted utilities sold regularly at one platform
The punch-line “creativity redefined” is to show the newer dimensions in presentation and usage of many of the traditional art-forms or craft techniques and which can be very well seen in our range of products too.
How we started our business?
