Our Journey
How LuxeDesigns was bornGrowing up in India, I was fortunate to witness the hustle and bustle, vibrant colors, countless festivals, cultures, languages, and food. Some memories from those times are so ingrained that I can recall each second conversations.
As a kid, I vividly remember going to the local bazaars with my mom. Being in the bustling market was oddly peaceful where no one was in a hurry. We carefully explored intricately designed boxes, trays, furniture, coasters, trivets, among some things. The artisan showcasing their skillfully created decor pieces, proudly saying "mere haath se banaya hein" (I made it with my own hands). No pushy sales pitch, no gimmicks, no marketing. They took more joy in learning about us and also discussing about their husband / wife and kids.
As for the product, the artisans didn't need to mention the exceptional quality. It was evident to the naked eye and if it wasn't, picking up the products, touching, and feeling it gave you the sense that we will not need to buy another one for more than a life time.
Time soon came to make the move to America when I was 10. The transition was a hard at first but we had to quickly settle in.
After college, I went back to India to the same house that I grew up in (my uncle now lived there). Walking around, I noticed some of the same decor pieces still being used in what appeared to be in the same condition we left it in 22 years ago. From the tea being served in the jugs, placed on the wooden trays, served on Mother of Pearl coasters.

We went back to those markets, where surprisingly most vendors remained at those same shops, some I remember more than others. Many even had their children with them, the same ones we heard stories about 22 years ago.
On my flight back to the US, I couldn't stop reminiscing about my experiences. After a few years of planning, communicating directly with the artisans in India, carefully choosing products / making designs changes, sampling, we were ready to launch. LuxeDesigns Company was born!
We are so excited to share the artisan products with you that will continually become part of your stories and experiences for many years to come!
