About Us
Urban Utsav was established in 2022 as a small retail business with a love for traditional and contemporary art forms from India.
India has a rich multi-cultural heritage where festivals and celebrations across the country are enjoyed with such fervour and love even today. Decorating our homes is a key part of preparing for celebrations, bringing the whole family together, the positive energies as well as teaching our children about our culture and involving them in the practices.
During our regular trips to India, I would love packing up our suitcases with all the incredible finds from our trip, products that reflect this culture and our traditions and were difficult to find outside of India.
India has an ocean of age-old skill and modern-day talent which Urban Utsav wants to showcase outside of India. We work with artisan men and women, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and social enterprises across India to bring a beautiful range of hand made products to the UK and further. Handicrafts which maintain a sense of tradition but also have a modern and contemporary feel that can be multipurpose and can find a space in our homes, offices, and businesses all year round, not just for festivals.
We are proud of the partnerships we have established and in our small effort to bring this talent to you, we have a Social Commitment to all artisans and businesses we work with. We ensure all artisans, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and Social Enterprises are paid upfront for their work and skills, we also do not engage in any level of bargaining, price reductions or post stock delivery claims to ensure they are fairly paid for their craft.
