Our story

Founded on a grandmother's pallu.

The Pallu Stories began in 2019 with a single beaded potli — stitched by our founder's grandmother in a small courtyard in Jaipur.

Philosophy

Slow objects, softly worn.

Every piece we make is designed to outlive a trend — sourced slowly, threaded slower, and gifted with a note. We work with 47 women karigars in Jaipur and pay a living wage.
