From Humble Origins to Global Pioneers
Our story commenced as a small retail shop just opposite the iconic Hawa Mahal in the Pink City. In the late '70s, buoyed by unwavering growth and the support of our cherished customers, we proudly opened our first full-fledged showroom. This marked the inception of a pioneering business house, transforming into a thriving manufacturer and exporter in the home industry. Today, we export our products to over 50 countries worldwide, and we've become a family of over 1500 individuals. Moreover, we provide invaluable support to over 5000 artisans in the cottage industry.
Preserving Heritage, Uplifting Lives
Our mission extends beyond commerce. We're driven by a profound purpose: to uplift artisans and provide them with sustainable livelihoods. In doing so, we keep the embers of disappearing art and craft alive. Manglam Arts deals in various home categories, including furniture, rugs, carpets, home textiles, and accessories, alongside fashion items like apparel and jewelry. What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to creating everything by hand, using time-honored authentic techniques.

Designing with Nature and Tradition
