Welcome to Kaafi Desi!

Hello, I am Pankhuri Agrawal, a software engineer by profession and a craft enthusiast at heart. Since my school days, I have made various DIY stuff at home mainly as a hobby. The idea of “Kaafi Desi” originated by a rather simple observation – I came across a beautiful set of small craft items being peddled by roadside vendors – which rekindled my passion for craft. We started with an artificial flower & wooden tray set, which received overwhelming response from the clients. With loads of experimentation and feedback from clients over the span of last 1.5 years, our catalogue now houses over 20 different types of products, ranging from trays to hand-painted wall hanging plates. We largely deal in wooden home décor items suitable for both personal use or gifting purposes, with styles to suit all sorts of requirements – quirky, colourful, traditional, vintage, festive, motivational, or for even adding that extra bit of happiness when waking up in the morning, working in the kitchen or converting a house into home. To this effect, our products are highly customizable and prepared with lots of effort and dollops of love to bring that extra level of satisfaction for clients without loosening their purse strings. We were also featured in LBB for our cute and colourful products. I do not have an art background, but I invest in myself to improve my craft, by attending workshops and training.

With the pandemic, the raw material supply got severely hit for us with further impact from the closure of courier services. The largest impact was from lower demand as clients reduced the orders both for monetary and safety concerns. However, this gave me a chance to introduce new product lines, especially the mini motivational signs since we all need some of that in these hard times. And I am thankful to all the people who placed the orders and were patient through the delivery delays. I believe in myself and my work; things will normalize soon enough!
