At Mela, we know how personal home decor can truly be.
As time goes by, our tastes evolve in response to our changing lives.
Mela's sourcing strategy has constantly evolved to meet changing customer tastes and trends in the market, especially in the home decor and kitchenware space. Uttar Pradesh's rich tradition in crafts and handmade goods, across textiles, wood carving, metalwork, and stonework, provides a diverse and vibrant landscape for our sourcing.
Agra (known globally for its stone craftsmanship, especially marble) has been one of our key hubs. In early years, our product styles emphasized intricate marble inlay & fret work across categories like coasters, desk accessories, tabletop decor.
As consumer preferences shifted towards cleaner and more modern designs, Mela's design team has adapted by innovating fresh forms, exploring mixed material options like wood and stone, along with new finishes using stones like alabaster, agate, and soapstone.
Our approach reflects an understanding of global trends and also our commitment to offer unique and innovative products that appeal to contemporary tastes.
Additionally, Mela's sourcing strategy, encompasses both small artisan hubs and larger workshops and factories, ensures a diverse range of products that cater to different preferences and our buyer requirements. Embracing innovation while staying true to the rich heritage of craftsmanship in Uttar Pradesh, Mela continues to delight its customers with distinctive and high-quality home ware that celebrate both tradition and modernity.
