the y in dayalu

why does dayalu exist?

out of a continent-spanning love story between Pakistan and Austria came the wish to bring the unmatched beauty and skilled artisanry of traditional pottery, timeless jewellery, and the historic basket-weaving culture to you.
dayalu (Hindi and Urdu) means "kind". kindness is the guiding principle underlying all of dayalu's work. being kind to the planet, kind to the artisans, kind to everyone who is involved along the way – that's what we stand for.
all our products are made by skilled artisans with traditions and techniques that have been passed down for generations, with a modern twist – to bring you unique, sustainable, and most of all beautiful pieces.
our products use locally sourced, natural materials and ensure that everyone who is involved is compensated fairly. we work with artisans and experts in their fields who have honed their craft for years to bring you high-quality treasures.
when you buy from a small business, you don’t make shareholders happy – you support dreams, fuel local economies and get unique products with a story. and: global trade promotes peace by fostering economic interdependence and creating incentives for cooperation between nations. sounds good, right?

your support is appreciated SO MUCH! thanks for being here.
