Crafts & Charm brings together carefully selected Kashmiri crafts and heritage pieces, connecting the craftsmanship of Kashmir with a new generation of admirers around the world.

About Crafts & Charm
Crafts & Charm was founded by Monis Mir and Nida Zahoor with a simple belief: the extraordinary craftsmanship of Kashmir deserves to be discovered, appreciated and cherished around the world.
Having grown up in Kashmir, we have known its craftsmanship as part of everyday life. Today, based in Canada, we create a bridge between Kashmir's traditional craftsmanship and contemporary homes and wardrobes across North America.

Our Promise
Represent responsibly.
Where information is available, we share details about materials, techniques, origins and craftsmanship, so you can understand what you are purchasing.
No two pieces are identical.
Small differences in colour, texture, pattern or finish are not imperfections. They are part of the character of handcrafted work.
The artisan should never disappear behind the product.
Behind every piece is a person who knows how to make it: skill built over years and often passed between generations.
