The resulting creations boast a unique charm, each bearing the distinct imprint of the earth. From kitchen essentials to elegant serve ware, every item in our collection invites nature's beauty into your home.
Our Bamboo and Cane range showcases the intricate weaving techniques of Meghalaya's artisans, yielding a stunning assortment of baskets, coasters, mats, and more. Each piece reflects the timeless elegance and attention to detail mastered through generations.
Inspired by a shared vision to preserve tradition and honor nature's bounty, Rida and Peter bring their expertise in textile and pottery design from NIFT and NID. Dakti Craft stands as a tribute to their dedication, weaving a narrative of harmony between humanity and the environment.
