PATORA for us is a trunk full of objects of immense fascination. We envision everyday objects that are a celebration of people, places, cultures and heritage coming together. We believe that anything handmade has the power to enrich our lives with beauty and meaning.

At PATORA we invite you along on the journey to discover the power vested in the extraordinary handmade.  They are sustainable, slowly churned stories that reflect the personal journey of their maker and the wider narratives of the culture that inspires them.  We seek out craft traditions imbued with generations of knowledge yet relevant to an elevated modern aesthetic. Decorative or utilitarian, each piece that PATORA collects or commissions is a treasure that endures as a modern heirloom.

We work exclusively with hand-made techniques from the Indian subcontinent. The true identity of India lies in the story that the craftsperson weaves with their skill and craft. Our products are made organically in small batches at their own pace and each product has its own fingerprint.
