Our Story

At House of Saaj, we believe that heritage is not just a tradition, but a living, breathing art that deserves to be shared and celebrated across generations. Our journey began with a deep-rooted, cultivated passion for India’s vibrant and diverse arts and crafts, passed down through generations of skilled artisans. We’re here to bring these timeless treasures into homes and hearts, preserving and promoting the beauty of Indian craftsmanship.

We prefer to work with generational artists whose techniques and stories have been passed down for centuries, ensuring that every piece we offer tells a unique story of its origins. From the intricate designs of Pattachitra and Odisha’s timeless arts to the colorful motifs of Bhil and Gond art, each craft holds a piece of Indian heritage that we proudly present to the world.

At House of Saaj, we emphasize accessibility, not just luxury. We want to make Indian heritage arts affordable and accessible, so everyone can experience the beauty and craftsmanship of our homeland in their daily lives. Our products are curated with care, ensuring that they are not just beautiful but also sustainable and fair to the artisans we work with. A portion of every sale goes back directly to these artists, helping preserve their craft and supporting their livelihoods.

We believe in small batch, handmade pieces—because each item we offer is special, and deserves to be cherished. Our mission is to foster a deeper appreciation for India’s rich cultural heritage, while empowering the artisans who create these masterpieces. At the heart of everything we do is the spirit of promoting heritage arts and crafts by generational artists—a commitment that reflects our core values of authenticity, sustainability, and respect for tradition.

House of Saaj is dedicated to curating and showcasing the rich heritage arts and crafts of India, with the aim of seamlessly blending them into a broader cultural narrative.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. By choosing House of Saaj, you’re not just bringing home a beautiful piece of art—you’re supporting a movement to keep India’s heritage alive for generations to come.

Beautifully Handmade

I recently visited House of Saaj at the Concord Holiday Pop up and was very impressed with their collection. I bought the Jaipur Blue Pottery tea light holders as gifts for my friends and they loved them as much as I had. These tealight holders have real handmade feeling to them and I look forward to enjoying mine. I would recommend visiting House of Saaj at their store in Carlisle to see their handmade artisanal items.

Lippankaam Squares

I bought a set of three Lippan Kaam wall decor from House of Saaj. It is a very unique item and we had not heard of it before. I gifted it as a housewarming gift and they simply loved it. I am looking forward to buying some more Lippan Kaam frames for my own home, and getting them customized to my colors. Love working with Shilpa on any project!

Beautiful Kutchi Shawls

I bought five Kutchi embroidered shawls from House of Saaj to give as Christmas gifts and I must say I was amazed at the quality of the sheep wool. The embroidery was exquisite and I like how the owner, Shilpa was so knowledgeable about the items she has in her shop. The shipping time was great as they arrived well in time. I will definitely be buying from House of Saaj again. I bought five Kutchi embroidered shawls from House of Saaj to give as Christmas gifts and I must say I...

Lovely Brass Diyas

I bought a set of brass Diyas from House of Saaj at their event in October. I was delighted when I got so many compliments from my guests at my Diwali party. I am impressed at the etchings on brass which made the Diyas so fetching. I would recommend House of Saaj handmade items for their quality and commitment to small batch production.

Tanjore Trays

I bought two Tanjore trays from House of Saaj for gifting during Diwali. I loved that I didn’t have to wait to go to India to get such beautiful gifts any more. Their shop in Carlisle, MA has such interesting handcrafted products! Having such a boutique shop so close to Boston makes it easier to travel too.
