Where to buy handmade home décor online in India

A bedside lamp has to fit beside your books. A serving tray has to fit both your cups and the shelf where you keep it. Here’s how to compare the same piece across stores before you order.

Shopping on Etsy, Amazon, Flipkart or LeZo Mercantile

Etsy: Look at the shop behind the piece. The listing can tell you whether the seller made the item or designed it. Check the dispatch location and delivery estimate for your postcode. How Etsy describes sellers’ work
Amazon India: Amazon Karigar is one place to look for Indian handicrafts. When comparing two similar trays, check the material, size and number of pieces included in each listing. About Amazon Karigar
Flipkart: Flipkart’s Samarth programme works with Indian artisans and craftspeople. For a gift, enter the recipient’s PIN code and check the delivery date and return terms for that exact item. About Flipkart Samarth
LeZo Mercantile: Browse Indian lighting and tableware by material. Choose India as your delivery destination to see local pricing. If a piece is listed on enquiry, share its product link and your PIN code with our team. Shop LeZo’s handmade collections

What to compare on the product page

Mushroom table lamps. Measure the space the shade will occupy as well as the base. Ask about the bulb fitting, plug and overall height if the listing omits them. Browse mushroom and metal table lamps
Mango wood serving trays. Lay out your cups on the table and measure their footprint. A carved rim uses some of the listed width. Check whether the price covers one tray or a nesting set. Browse wooden serving trays and bowls
Woven pendant lights. Compare the shade diameter with the width of your dining table. Check the drop length and whether the cord and ceiling fitting come with the shade. Browse bamboo pendant lights
